Question is, does he want one for self recovery as well?

Most of the smaller ATV and boat winches will do to recover the odd game animal, but to me, if i were going to the trouble of fitting a winch, I would want one that I could use for self recovery.

Given how lightweight the Samuri is one in the 5000lb would get the job done and should not break the bank.

Over here, many of folks use Superwinch and they seem to work and are a bit less expensive than Warn..
