well if the american army use them on all their vehicles they cant be bad
been gunna buy one for a while now 800 au in the country for a 12000lb electric

mate can you tell me where that price was from?

I have a 9000 lb Milemarker on a GQ patrol TD4.2, hooked up to its power steering hoses. I bought it from www.summitracing.com for around US $600, it came with hoses and free shipping within USA at the time . I had it delivered to a mate's address in california, he ships cars to AUS and the winch hitched a ride in his container.
It works as good as a warn 9000 but is very quiet due to the Hydraulic motor.

They look a lot like the Repco winch.

i had a hydraulic 10,500lb one my old jacka, cant fault them will pull all day! not teh quickest winch but if you are looking for a workhorse then you cant go wrong

yeah i was looking at the 9k 12v one.
anyone had any problems?

Milemarker come out of the same chinese factory as repco, terrain tamer, ox, brawn etc...only the brawn is fully rebuilt, lectro plated and waterproofed.

as far as i have read on pirate4x4, milemaker elec winches are crap out of china and have had many probs.,

the hyd ones are what the US military used to reeplace there 24v warns. the hyd are ment to be much better than the elec ones.
mabe even out of a different factory

Judging from the pics i have seen it looks like you can run it as a standard upright high mount or in a lay down configuration where by it looks like a standard winch but with the gearbox behind it; Interesting
