You guys will clutch those pearls like your baby just got slapped, but the Warn 8274 and Superwinch Husky are the front end equivalent of a Salisbury potato plow.
I strongly considered the M8000, but in the end went with the similar ComeUp (the original manufacturer for Superwinch) DV-9 the equivalent of the old EP 9.0. They're similar in size, weight, and form. The M8000 is made in USA while the ComeUp is made in Taiwan, but if the specs are correct, the DV-9 is rated to pull more at lower current draw. Customer support has been great and it has performed well for years now.
