I am seriously considering getting a cheap winch from supercheap.
I wont bother with my long winded reply I just made in another thread, but for the little use we will get out of one needle valve I can not  justify, let alone afford to spend more on a winch.
I would be happy to use a snatch block and take things gentle when I did need to use it.
I have spent quite a bit of time researching the Aldi/supercrap/ebay/chinese winches and the overwhelming majority of people who have them seem to be happy.
I think as long as you understand your not going to spend a 5 day trip winching yourself and others up hills all day and know the limitations of the winch they should be ok for the odd self recovery from a bog hole.
