dang guys....chillout. you are starting to sound like me and Pro and Ho.

I am gonna get a hydro winch and put it on the back and still be able to use my electric so I have options! I have been trying to come up with a hydro system that runs on it's own power like small aircraft do in case my motor dies. then I can still run off a battery (aux battery that is fully charged) but draw a LOT less amps and pull just as hard.

You almost need a power steering pump ran by an electric motor. I don't know if that use more or less juice than a winch..

Sure buzz everyone is entitled to their oppinion but when you are like "what are you smoking" phrasing things like you know it all and everyone else knows people start to get annoyed.

Industrial, commercial, electric, hydro, it looks to me like you guys are looking for excuses why not to buy a Ramsey.........In most cases, comm, ind, yada, yada,....Ramseys are used, i don't care what you buy ( as long as it's not a chevy).....Just stating Facts, and again when did MM come out ?.... they are 2nd best (in some eyes) because they are the cheapest ?

Really, i don't care but in the mud NONE WORK........

For not caring you sure are pumping this thread like a Mississippi leg hound. MM has been around a long time. Has had a contract with the military supplying winches for awhile. They are better known for their hydro version, but they are trying to compete with Warn which is why they are comparatively cheap on their electrics.

I'll have to tell all my wheeling budies they can leave their winches at home since they don't work in mud

C'mon man, you're transparent...you're trying to push buttens

You're pretty much just confirming my suspicion that you are probably some 14 old kid that has some cool pics of trucks that aren't even his and like to troll around the 4x4 boards.

I'm not dissing 14 year old kids, I believe both Ho and Fishy were around that age when they first started coming around here way back when. However, many of us are on to your antics both here and on pirate and nobody is impressed. And don't think for a second I'll rise to such a feeble taunt. C'mon, try some creativity.

Ryan, once you get the MM and have run it for awhile get back to us with a report of how well it performs.
