Title: Harbor Freight Badland 2500 lb. ATV Winch with Remote
Post by: TC_outdoorsman on March 15, 2018, 02:47:30 PM: Anybody have experience with the Harbor Freight Badland 2500 lb. ATV Winch with Remote ? I got one for christmas to mount on my Honda Rancher 350 but have not done it yet. I am kind of worried about what you do if the remote gets lost or broke. Is there a way to operate the winch without the wireless remote?

Post by: JohnVH on May 11, 2018, 12:26:52 PM: I have one I use to pull cars onto a car hauler trailer, pretty handy to be in the car and remote control the winch putting them on. I have not used it enough to give an honest review, but so far it works fine
