Customer Reviews for the Badland Apex 5500 lb. UTV Winch

Hear from real customers about their experiences using the Badland Apex 5500 lb. UTV Long-Drum Winch with Synthetic Rope.

I welded a receiver hitch on the tongue of my car trailer and mounted the winch on a hitch to make it portable. I got a snatch block for it if it needed more power but have never needed to use it yet. I like that it is compact and light so it is easy to remove or install. It has pulled up a Camaro with flat tires, a bunch of British roadsters and a Prius with zero issues.
