The winch was as advertised, it was an old model but that is to be expected for the price. The fairlead fit the bracket that came with the unit but would not fit the bumper hitch bracket made by the same company. I had to buy a new fairlead to fit the speed fit bracket because the hole centers were different from one bracket to another. I called them and they said that they had changed the fairleads to a standard size so I would have to buy one from them for around $30 even though both brackets were from them and the box said it would fit their 3000 # winch. I guess you get what you pay for.
Randy Champion Power Equipment C30145 Winch Kit - 3,000 Pound Capacity
Ordered this item on a sunday and would have recieved it on Wednesday with standard shipping but due to a snow storm it came thursday! I have burned out two winches of another brand so i am excited to see how this holds up to my abuse. but i can tell already it is built better. the unit is very solid in itself and the control is very well made. the fairlead that came with it seemed a little on the cheap side but i am just using my old one. very easy installation just run two wires to the battery and two wires to the winch. there are even rubber gromits that go over the wire connections that previous more expensive models diddnt have. the free spool clutch works very good my only complaint is when under a load and you stop retracting the cable it gives an inch or two back... i am using this for plowing and when i raise my plow all the way it settles an inch or two after i let off the button. but works very good and is a very quiet smooth motor... Time will tell if it lasts but for the money this is a great deal. - Superwinch - Utv Winches - Winch - Winches'
