rubyandforeman,
The new 2500RT & XT both are sealed and have metal gears like the 3000lb. I looked at the price and didn't mind spending alittle more though. If you have a smaller budget just go with the 2500. I will be all you need.

Homie189,
The gears are made of plastic and will strip if you ever challenge the winch. I guess the motor is too strong and keeps trying beyond the 2500lb limit. Thats why metal gears is always the way to go.



Homie189,
The gears are made of plastic..

no the gears are not made of plastic only the housings are..

 

[rubyandforeman]

yes the gears are inside of a plastic housing which the gears spin around in.... which when u put plastic with metal gears.. its goin to b like hot knife with butter.

ya there desing is shitty..
