Runva winches are cheap but are a good winch for the price. For a 3000# I bet it will be under $200.

Ya I looked at the winch warranty and it only applies to the original buyer and since the gear stripped they will say it was overloaded which it wasn’t but I can’t prove that. I ordered a provantange 3500 core from fortnine.ca $280 free shipping so all I have to do is bolt it in and put the line on it.

If you can catch a sale on superwinch at princess auto they are decent . Not worth full price though . Best winch for price I have come across is Prowinch , can't seem to find them anymore though

I use the terra super winches now. Have had great luck with them. On sale at prices auto often. I have bought them for 249 for the 4500 pound version.

You had the super winch on your wild cat didn’t you? I was looking at them as it’s time for a new winch for me soon.

Yes. I needed a new cable and bracket when I moved my winch to the bumper so I bought another one. That one stayed under my bench until I got my rzr. I replaced the cable with a rope and mounted it in the rzr. Both winches still going strong but the one currently on the wildcat needs a new rope.
