I'm really getting the itch to get a winch. I've tossed up both the Warn XD9000 and the Superwinch 8500.   And with the price diffrence and the money I have to spend. It looks like it's going to be the Superwinch.  I found one at the local Northern for $429.   My question is,  Is this a good winch for the price and is the 3 stage Planetary gear setup reliable?
