I just noticed the summit in the catalog. Exact same specs. 172 gears 6.6hp series wound etc. They must be made in china at the same factory.

Volts x Current = Power so bigger HP is not really a good thing.

I think I am going to try a Warn.

t-max winches are made in Austraillia, bro

and warns are made in the USA

Does the summit version say that its made in china? Is it the same style as the current t-max linked above? Most people know a summit is a rebaged T-max.

I dont know where there made. I just guess China. Which is fine. My Milemarker is made there and very happy with it. I hear they have some awesome iso9000 factories over there, I just want a series wound winch to try. The Tmax sure sounds good I have yet to use a warn or tmax. Most people I know have MM or HF. I tried to use a warn 6k once but it did not work. The remote was bad.

I may get a tmax or warn both sound good.

Heh, you can get a Smittybuilt for 299 from 4wheelparts i think. Not sure the rating but i think it is 9k and not sure of reliability.

its an 8000lb winch... not sure about quality either...but a smoking deal...

how come mile marker isnt listed

Because i have read many reviews about MM. I got my Summit/ T-max winch, Which i can guarantee you it is a rebadged T-maxx because: the wires, the solenoids, and just about everything in the housing has T-max written on it. I am very happy with my decision. I used it twice now plenty of power faster than my Cousins 8274 warn and his brothers 12000 warn.

Well The Summit winchs are now ski high. Its cheaper to just buy a warn.

They only have a 2500lb one and a 10000lb one now
