Does anyone know anything about badland winches these are sold through Harbor Freight? I would not expect too much I dont think. The deal is a 5000 lb atv winch reg.price 219.99 but for a 3 day sale it's 139.99 I read somewhere it's the same as the mile marker brand.

yes the badlands are the rebadged chicago electric winches which is HF electric tool division. I would put the extra money towards a Warn or Superwinch. Then again if its works even once its worth its weight in gold.

mile marker might be the ones who make the older Chicago Electric ones now Badland

Thanks HF has a store about 20 mins. away and I went in too look around and got a sales paper with the add for the winch. I can get a smittybuilt 2000lbs. for around 80.00 dollars. I could have used one about 1 time in past 10 months. But since I ride alone it wouldn't hurt to have one.

Im leaning towards getting the warn xt-15 again. My front is too light anyway. I dont do freestyle stunts just go very fast in the trails alone. Plus an extended swing arm is around 800 bux.
