They're around $1500. You won't really find them much cheaper than that. Another popular one is the Grinch Winch.

yea,..thats alittle better than $2000. i like the pulldozer. that sucker looks like a freakin "built by CAT" winch. nice job on that thing. may check him out in the near future.

ive got a pulldozer and she runs like a sewin machine......... i opted for the 8hp though cause im larger than the average dude so price was a lil more than the standard 6hp..... but i love it.... the 08s have a new frame design and you can release the spool for easy line release..... its a super sweet setup

what did you give for your 8hp? definitly like the workmanship on those babies.
