I have not had any luck with the lighter duty winches from both Warn or Superwinch. Both were weak and gave up in just a few seasons. You need one of the more heavy duty models. I now have one that I bought at Harbor Freight for about $100. It has lasted real well. It has the roller fairlead and a hand held remote. The button on the remote did not last long but I just replaced it with a 2 position toggle switch. Not bad for the money.
