Stegodon Winch? Seems too good to be true, and that always makes me question it

[Lifeliberty]

Only contact info is a hotmail email. I wouldn’t buy shit from these people.
No actual reviews. All vids cut off before working review.

But that logo man.

From what limited research i did, I think they mostly sell on Amazon instead of directly. I bought these for 55 from the website(using paypal), they shipped from Tx over the weekend https://www.stegodons.com/products/...f-road-tire-ladder-4wd?variant=39737989005409

From FedEx :

​ Your package from ning bo te gan shi mao yi you is on its way.​

Let us know what you think of them. If you think they’re good I’ll change my opinion.

I’ve had Warn and Ramsey they both have let me down at times. A $300 winch is better than nothing, the “Mall” comments are Straight up BS use whatever you can get. The only truly good winch is a PTO preferably a TULSA winch.

I want them for snow/winter. They won't get daily use. I'm hoping i never need them, but I'll report back if i do

Would it be the go-to for everything else? I don't know, but they are cheap enough to at least try them out.

I would have a harder time purchasing the winch. I would need to have someone to send a harshly worded letter to if it didn't work

Someone’s always gotta make a Nuke joke

But I worked for Schlumberger after I got out of the Navy, and we used tons of these synthetic ropes in winches and for rigging. They’re far better and safer than steel cables. You’re winching a 5k lb vehicle, not a 2000 ton ship. Don’t write it off, synthetic rope is legit. Hell, what do you think kinetic ropes are!

I'm writing off the cheap Chinese stuff that fails more often than not

 

[nameuser]

I have and have had both synthetic and wire. Most of my newer units are synthetic but I still like wire for crazy angles over rocks.

 

[Havoc1]

Why?

Mooring lines, rigging and shot lines are one thing, especially when its two decently thick lines per bollard, but still dangerous when they (mooring lines) snap... pencil thin line that's on a cheaply made winch is another. I've seen plenty of reviews for Chinese stuff snapping and fraying after 2-3 uses

Don't nuke this lol

How’s the quality seem to you?

Fantastic

Wtf do i know? They look nice. They look like they'd make wonderful snowshoes. I got red. I like red, it's one of my favorite top 3 primary colors

I can sort of twist them, but not bend them

There's a stegodon on the box, i thought that answered all questions

If you get a raptor you must get a stegodon, get the whole zoo, that's just good math...

 

[JohnnyBronco]

synthetic rope is safer, and in many cases stronger, than wire cable. I've been using synthetic ropes for over 25 years in the military and off shore activities on winches/cranes etc.

Hemp rope may be superior to synthetic

Red snowshoes are far superior to White if you end up upside down in an avalanche

I guess we won’t know how good they are til you go to use them the first time.

One guy I know that’s been doing this for a LOOOONG time and teaches courses on off-roading and recovery etc is he said he hates the all plastic ones because undoubtedly some dumb blonde got her car stuck and he uses it and she spins the tires and burns off all the plastic nubs. He recommends the car more pricey name brand that you can replace studs for that reason. I figure I’m in Houston and won’t see snow, and likely not taking my Wildtrak into any dunes anytime soon, and mud is just right out of there nope nope nope…so I don’t need em.

I hope they work for you tho, and for the cost the investment to find out isn’t bad I guess.

Can always run a couple hundred screw in it for better grip.

"Synthetic rope" is a turn-off for me

That's what she said!
