Quotes from the site: Hand held remote control and roller fairlead are standard equipment on the Bull Dog 9500Lb. winch. The Bull Dog 9,500 pound self recovery winch has a premium series wound 5.5 hp (4.0 kw) motor, powers load in and out with automatic load holding brake, freespooling clutch for quick wire rope deployment. Most cheap winches use low horsepower, “permanent magnet” motors. As soon as they get hot, they start to loose performance, permanently! The Desert Rat Bull Dog Winch uses “series wound” motors for long life.
