There's low price winches on ebay that claim to have a 3 year warranty. Also if you think winches last forever I have a milemarker I'll sell ya

ive been pulled out a couple times by a 12k harbor freight winch, its a re branded mile marker, it was slow, but got the job done. They are CHEAP too, i know 4 wheel mag did a couple reviews not too long ago

as for a sage brush...a "pull pal" works great for that, or a larger boat anchor(seriously)
