Hey John! Nothing heroic but since I sold the tractor this past summer in preparation for our move to AK in a few weeks, I've used the Jeep and winch for chores around the homestead here in the Ozarks. Pulled logs up the hill to buck for firewood, stretch fence, and other "farm" work. Thankfully I've only had to use it once for vehicle recovery. I did get pretty stuck on the Kings River while checking traps one day. Our geology here is predominantly limestone, so lots of chert and dolostone that line our riverbanks- several feet worth of loose gravelesque stones. Easy to sink into and then get stuck in the muck underneath where the water lies near the surface. Used the winch and a deadman made from a large sycamore tree trunk to pull out. Took a couple hours to set it all up, but popped right out when the winch went into action. For $500 I don't think you could go wrong. Just wish it wasn't ChiCom made.
FWIW- We had Warns on our fire rigs when I ran a Wildland IA crew in SE Utah early 2000's. Can't remember the model number, but they burned up all the time. Wasn't impressed at all as they left us stranded several times.
