Where I buy Superwinch 09034 EPi9.0 Series Master Winch Good product, hardware lacking!By jtvtI've been very pleased with this winch after a difficult installation... At one point I used this to drag the bottom out from under a 60ft poplar tree that wedged into the ground and hung up on another tree after I cut it. I know from the past that a come-along or even dragging with chains wouldn't have budged it. Speed is also faster than most. HOWEVER, the bolts I received with the winch (1/2in) would not even fit through the mount holes! I went and bought 4, 7/16in grade 8 bolts and the nuts fit in the right side of the winch but not the left(?!) 3/8 was too small so I had to grind down 3 edges on the head of 2 of my 7/16 nuts to get this to mount, a royal pain! Great product though so I guess it's worth the trouble. Also, I'd recommend going to a steel wholesaler and getting 1/2in plate steel to drill and mount to, save a LOT of money off the retail plate.
