I have a Norse 450 that I bought from Labonville. They had the best price on a winch this size and I have been very happy with it. I added a receiver trailer hitch to the hinged butt plate and a couple more tool/chain holders on the sides of the winch. Still need to put a saw scabbard on it someplace one of these days. I researched all the other common brands and feel that I got the best deal with my Norse even without considering the cheaper price. I am very happy with it. I run my JD 5210 at idle when winching but still stand off to the side in case of a cable snap. I would not buy one that did not come with a screen guard since I sometimes drop and re-winch a hitch from the tractor seat in a hazardous area.
