What is NYS?When I do my “non serious” off roading in the great NYS forests they always get the job done.

For what’s it’s worth I have a super winch on my atv and had nothing but problems with it. Used maybe a hand full of times... it’s finicky and currently won’t release the cable going out.Harbor Freight and Smittybilt are both crap. A friend of mine in the industry quotes failure/return rates as high as 50% with Smittybilt winches. Buyer beware.
SUPERWINCH on the other hand makes some really well thought out winches like the Tigershark and the Talon.
I have a new Talon sitting here that’s going on soon.
Sounds mechanical. Have you opened it up and applied grease? It’s a good idea with any winch to disassemble, inspect and lubricate every couple years.For what’s it’s worth I have a super winch on my atv and had nothing but problems with it.

Got it, your a Shittybilt fan. Chinese made winch that will not fail because you say so.Smittybilt
It’s about 11 months old... but even in the first month or so have had random issues like it wouldn’t retrieve, OR give slack, with no rhyme or reason to either scenario.Sounds mechanical.

Lol are you going to be okay? What are the chances that the remaining Warn winches that ARE made in China are made in the same factory as the shittybilt's????Got it, your a Shittybilt fan. Chinese made winch that will not fail because you say so.
I bought a Warn Zeon winch because I wanted to support American workers as much as I can during this pandemic.
And yes the Zeon line is 100% made in America with American made parts. (I just gave you the Cliffs Notes version of the article you don’t want to read.)
