Mile Marker winches

[rlwjaw]

I just got this reply from Mile Marker this morning about where they are made, thought some might be interested.

richard,

All of our hydraulic winches are made in our Pompano Beach, Florida facility
and are US made.  The electric winches are produced in our Mile Marker
facility in China.  The MX9 is made in China.

Mark bought a Mile Marker hydrolic winch when they first started making them. He drove to Pompano Beach to get it.
It's been great.

Aren't the mile marker winches the same ones as Harbor Freight sells??

[Lady Di]

I don't see any hydraulic winches on their website and nothing by Mile Marker.

I meant the electric ones, I know they are identical to somebodies. Thought they were Mile Marker???

If they had a really good sale on one I'd buy it, but probably wouldn't buy one at full price.

I actually ordered one and then decided to cancel the order after reading some bad things about them....

Decided saving a couple hundred bucks wasnt worth risking being stuck or someones life..captain safety..i know..blah blah blah

Seems like you can snag a warn cheap enough off craigslist if you're patient enough.
