Just looked at getting a replacement for my Aldi winch. It runs great but the brake has never worked. I can get a TJM 9500 locally for $1300, but I am a bit concerned that water ingress might not be covered by the warranty.

Unless it has been updated since that was posted.
The Aldi one I bought secondhand had already suffered water damage, but it only took a couple of hours to repair it. I also added a silicon seal, which works well.
Has anyone used a cheaper winch in anger? What were the results?

Just got off the phone with Sherpa, and their winches are covered for 5 years and it also covers water ingress.

What was the Sherpa worth? I got the tjm 12000 pound fitted the other day, they did a pretty neat job, haven’t had a chance to use it yet. Comes with both the wired controller and wireless. Only thing that’s a bit annoying is that the isolator is under the bonnet, was hoping for a switch in the cab but it’s all good! I think the warranty is only two years though.

Cheers Craigstar!
I’d personally be more worried about the motors and gears on cheaper unsupported ones.
Pretty sure IIRC bought one for a work ute being the very first original opening in Australia day ALdi’s and found it had absolutely no brake, seriously:-)
EDIT: Killed a $250 then battery trying to hold a DX on a slope :-)
