Hi all. I was given a 9000lb superwinch, winch only. Model looks like it's 190TT but it's a bit smudged. Only seem to find info on new models through Google.

I've been looking at the other bits I'll need to get it going and it's now left me with wondering if I should buy another.
I just have winch with steel cable, so need relay, controller, fairlead etc. I have no idea what condition the steel cable is. I would probably prefer synthetic/dyneema rope over steel for weight (and lighter fairlead) plus less drama if cable breaks under tension.
As I started looking into buying the extra bits I'll need the cost was adding up really fast. If buying 4wd supastore synthetic rope plus the other parts I was up over half the cost of buying a domin8r 12000lb with fairlead.
I guess my question overall is how good are the superwinch winches? (Considering this one is fairly aged and will need stripping down at least). I'm trying to make a comparison between this and something like a domin8r, and if I'm better off keeping this or just paying a bit more for brand new.
My requirement for a winch is because I'll generally be out on my own hunting and fishing, so the norm will be that I won't have anyone else there to help pull me out-basically need to be self sufficient, even though I'm not planning on going down the toughest tracks you can find
Anyway, would really appreciate some advice off you more experienced members
Thanks, Stu
