Installation was very easy and the winch worked exactly as advertised. This is my second Superwinch and I have never been let down. I think this one will lift a house.

I needed a replacement winch for my snow plow. The old one would not retract. I searched on the type of winch I wanted and to my surprise, the one at Amazon.com popped up and it had a really good price. Shipping was a bit of a problem as they sidetracked me to the point I got frustrated and almost canceled the purchase with an offer which required me to "join". The product cost me about $10 extra to get shipped in a timely manner, but I went ahead and opted for 2 day shipment. The problem I now have is I get Amazon email offering to sell me a "mounting plate" that had I required it, I would have ordered it. The problem is the mounting plate appears to be generic, have no idea what the plate fits, and generally speaking a winch is a winch for mounting, two holes.

Two screws missing when box arrived. Having trouble with instalation of the synth. rope. You are supposed to fit it through a hole in the drum but it just wont go through. The end of the rope has a rubber tip but it came of when I pulled it on the other end of the hole and it tore off. I wrote superwinch support to see if they can help.

I am very happy with my s5000 superwinch. I used it to drag a old car onto my trailer that hasn't moved since 1984. Using a snatch block, I dragged the car with 3 flat tires with only the front tires turning. The only problem I had was the cable wanted to roll up on one side. The long control cable made it easy to walk around and do what needed to be done because I loaded it by myself.

I am using this as a utility winch on my car trailer. People kept telling me I needed a larger winch, but this one has done pretty well. It will not drag a car up onto the trailer if it had no wheels, but I have pulled cars with 4 flat tires. I used it last week to drag a car side ways so I could get it lined up with the trailer. Very happy with this unit! The only thing that would make it better would be a longer cable for the switch. I would like to be able to reach the back of the trailer with it in my hand.
