I saw the more expensive one in their ad as well, but I believe it to be a redesigned model as it did not look anything like the normal Badlands winch
Spend the 39.99 or 29.99 on sale for the wireless winch control! Well worth the money.
I have a pair of the 9K versions one on the open trailer & one in the enclosed trailer, I love them & very rarely ever have an issue with them. I did buy the warranty & they replace one once, but I have had them for probably 6 years & transporting is my business, so they don't sit around!
God Bless
Bill
