No, they aren't. Ask FOREMANes about how he had to seal his Super Winch 1500. The only Atv winch on the market that is sealed is the Rule winch.

 

Boner, the new SuperWinches are sealed rather well; the ATV2000 and T1500 pulling 2400 pounds stall after 9 hours total immersion (SuperWinch recently changed electric motor subcontractors).

I prefer a front-mounted winch; you can always snake the cable under the ATV to an anchor point behind you, or better, to an anchored ****** block, in the rear (yes, Pflueeb, one shouldn't forget to wind the cable on the spool when finished winching!).

The ATV2000 comes with 50' of wire rope and a built-in brake standard; the T1500 has 25' of cable and a brake is extra, if you need one.

And, Boner, where you ride, please: get a sntach block! You'll need all the extraction force you can get, pulling yourself out of that gumbo!

Just don't get a ****** block for lake bottom riding. I utterly refuse!

You think?

I forgot to mention that a Foreman 40o got stuck so bad, in that hole about 3-feet from the road, that I 3/4 ton truck had trouble pulling him out. So I think a ****** block is a needed.

I will probally buy/make a highlifter rear tow kit to mount a ****** block to. This way i will be pulling at more of an upward angle.

Will I have to mount the winch upside down? I can't monut it with the winch motor on the left/shifter side because of the exhast.
