Guys, I was flicking through the latest Supercheap Catalogue the other night and saw the Ridge Ryder 12000lb winch advertised for $549 saving $376. Photo looked like it had wire cable, so I thought it was worth a look for real. Headed out today and walked in and saw one there with synthetic rope, I thought they had the wrong winch in the wrong place. My bad, the advertised winch is $549 with synthethic rope. Anyway, I looked over the box and found that they are manufactured by Ningbo Lift Winch Manufacturing Co Ltd. A quick google search indicted that they make Tigez11 winches. They do look the same.

Spec's are; 12000lb single line pull, 6.6hp parallel series wound motor, Dynemema @SK75 (10mm x 28m) rope, auto in the drum braking.

My question is, what do people think about this type of winch, particularly any have one or a Tigerz. I think the price is good. Please no you get what you pay for, sometimes there are some great products with great pricing.

Looking forward to comments.
