I'd say get a Goodwinch TDS 9.5
The TDS Winches are probably the most reliable if on a budget.

Before I bought my TDS winch I also considered a Superwinch Talon. But found several bad stories on google regarding the Talon winch. The TDS I have only read good things about.

Edit:
sorry, didn't see that this is your max budget. If the orange color is your only grudge towards the winchmax, a can of black paint can easily fix that :-)

I would be interested in people's opinions too as not looking to do winch challenges or anything, so don't want to spend a fortune on a mega winch.


Just a bit of back up when solo green laning.
