WARN Industries first launched its flagship M8274 in 1974. Over the course of half a century (give or take) it hasn’t changed much — and for good reason. The original M8274 had enough power to pull up to 8,000 pounds, a cable capacity of 150 feet, and efficient gearing that made it a workhorse for most winching needs.
The updated M8274 is available in two models directly from the factory in Clackamas, Oregon: the M8274 with 125 feet of steel cable and a roller fairlead or the M8274-S with 150 feet of Spydura synthetic line and an aluminum fairlead.
WARN also removed the solenoid-based switch and replaced it with a IP68 waterproof Albright electrical contactor for the ultimate in reliability and control.
The M8274 retails for $3,199.99. Check out the features below or head over to WARN for more details.
