Which Warn Winch should I get?

[MUDBURD]

I’m stuck between the XD9000i and the 9.5ti thermometric Warn winches. So, besides the obvious differences between the two winches, is it worth the extra $230 to get the 9.5ti thermometric?

If you have the money get hte Thermo, it has backstops to save the winch from overheating which protects Solinoids, the motor, your battery(s) and thewinch itself

if your going to do a lot of back to back or looong pulls then get the thermo

go for line speed. I love my 8274

I have the 9.5 ti, and it has never failed me. Line speed is good too. I go wheeling by myself often, so I needed reliability. Find the lowest price online, then go to one of the better known outfits that will match that price. It'll save you money. Watch out for shipping costs.

8274 line speed is unmatched..I have an old one on my rig,I am sure the new one is improved ...its called 8274-50 ?? pricey but will be last one you buy.
