Probably because they don't sell as many.

The M6000 isn't big enough for our trucks. You need AT LEAST an 8000, and even then you should be double line pulling most everything (run the line through a snatch block and back to the vehicle to double the pull strength).

I have almost stalled a 9500 with Molly's truck, even had it working REALLY hard with a double line pull.

Here's the link
Summit Winch

Is your statement 100% true?? That's a good winch (if true) for the price!

EDIT - Clicked on the "Instructions" PDF and it comes up as a T-Max. Nice find!
