Anyone ever heard of them? Just another china copy of a knock off winch?

This is on a local auction site. 20k lb rated with a 7.8hp motor would probably be good for a trailer, probably too slow for a wheeler.
Not like I need another winch but for the price…

It tells you right on the box that it only works intermittently....
 
Landhonor is one of the companies that is flooding basically every local or regional auction with chinese shit. You'll see them, Wolverine, AGT and a couple other brands. None of them actually produce anything, they just rebadge other chinese junk. I bet if you look at the other stuff in that auction, there arae a ton of skid steer attachments, portable shelters, water pumps, mini excavators and skid steers and 4 to 6 of the white shipping containers with 2 or 4 doors on the side.

Depending on the size of the auction, they send 4-6 of the containers full of all the implements and shit. Unload all the shit and auction it and the containers off. You'll see the exact same spread at just about every equipment auction around the country. I haven't been able to figure out who's behind it - if it's a chinese company sending directly on consignment or if there's a US side that's managing all of the logistics. Some of the attachments I've seen sell have gone for less than my cost from the same manufacturers. I know they lose money on some of them, but I'm sure it works out with the volume.

yep that’s exactly what’s going on here.
Kinda what I thought but figured I’d get the real info on here. Thanks.

They're probably no better or worse than any of the other import ones, but I wouldn't pay more than 50-60% of the HF 12k price for it. From what I've seen, people overpay for some of that crap and when you add tax and buyer's premium on to it, they're paying more than retail.


I bought a few of the skid steer attachments are a couple here. Once I got some really good deals on because the auction went on for like 14 hours and most of the in-person bidders left. I was watching online because one of the things I wanted was one of the last 5 items. Ended up getting several things for about 1/2 of what I could find the same ones for locally.
 
If I had a skid steer I’d be bidding on some of the attachments just because they would be handy the one or two times I’d need them but I wouldn’t start a business with them.
 
Or just get a used warn or other USA one.
Yeah an M8000 popped up on FBMP last night for $150 so that’s what I’m doing instead. Might have to use a snatch block more, but it will probably get passed down to one of the kids when I shuffle off.
