Should I drive 50 miles to go look at this winch?

thats 2 warn 8274's w/snatch blocks tryin to pull me out...it took a BIG track hoe to get me out...there was a telephone pole bout 20' n front to my left as u can c n tha pic below...if i'd had my winch on my truck, with the 2 snatch blocks i have, i'd have gotten out w/o any problems...this was my reason for overkill...

i bet a hi-lift jack with a good base, could have gotten you out by lifting the rear then using the winches. or what about using snatch blocks off the telephone pole back to you? couldn;t the other trucks get around to the left?
 
there's a long story behind this...the guys trucks who had the winches were older guys n didn't want a younger guy (me) telling them how to winch...i think they couldve gotten me out doing several other things, but they did it thier way n i stayed stuck...they didn't even have thier winches hooked to good batteries...their trucks kept dieing n, well LONG story...all i needed was a lil tug from the track hoe n once i had a lil momentum, i almost ran into it when i came out...

What do you guys think?
 
First off, that is the XD9000I (integrated controller). That is a good price for that winch. Just have to remember though that since it's the integrated version it is harder to do a hidden winch if you ever decided to.

what he said... it's a little newer model I believe than the regular xd9000... looks like a good deal...

here's the regular xd9000... well, with the spool lever clocked...
