cheap harbor frieght winches any one?

I'd give 6 bucks for it. That is what the next bid is.
Wouldn't put it on a truck, but it would be nice to mount on one of my trailers for winching up a car if it won't move under its own power.

The problem with it not going in reverse is just a solenoid problem. Easily fixed.

But the $49 shipping is a deal killer.
 
Say what you will about the Harbor Freight winches but I have seen them work pretty dang good. Never owned own. But I may in the future.
 
My dad has one one on his trailer, works great... Been on there for 5-6 years... And he's had hundreds of cars on his trailer... Really, hundreds... Not all of them had to be winched, but it's earned it's supper...

I'm wanting to get one for my trailer... I would consider using one for a rear winch...
 
I bought one for a rear winch on my crew cab, but it was s l o w, so I put it on my trailer and took the XRC8 off of the trailer and put it on the truck.
 
There is a couple guys that run them around here and have good luck with them. Just really ssssslllllloooooowwww. I won one a few years ago and have full faith in putting it on my trailer.
 
I run a 10k harbor freight winch on my K5. Pulls just fine, even after spending a few minutes under water. Just kinda slow.
 
Four wheeler did a test on them, Mile Marker, Warn and somebody else. they came in third it still worked it was some random fail but that was part of the test.
