There are both pros & cons when it comes to hydralic winches.Probably one of the most important parts to make up a system is the pressure relief valve & its settings.To much pressure could result in blown seals,hoses and possibly placing winch components beyond their limits.In response to low settings ,performance would suffer due to low pressure.Settings should be moderate.Keep in mind that this pressure relief valve acts as a safety switch.Over all I guess there ok if you don't mind constantly fixing leaks.I might also advise not to scrimp on cheap hoses & connections.Use the good stuff! Just my two cents worth.
