I've posted a short video of me winching my Rincon up a decent ravine. It's not all that steep, but worked well for a real-world test.

This is a 3.6MB file encoded in WM9. Sorry about the low quality, I wanted to keep the size down.

If you have an older version of WMP, you will hear audio, but will not see video. You can download the version 9 codec here (822kb), or just upgrade your Media Player (9.6MB).here.

 

good video editing, what camera did you use? also i bet your winch motor got tosty warm as that was some countiouns stuff!

 

I used a Sony mini DV camera and loaded the video into Adobe Premier. The winch didn't really get the hot. Once I reached the first plateau, there was about a 15 minute break as I moved the cable from tree #1 to another higher up.

 

Nice

 

Nice footage. It kind of kept my heart in my throat. Not being that close to the atv in case the cable let go some how.

How many pound is your winch?

 

I have a handlebar-mounted switch, but went out to get the 10' cable remote before I tried anything tough. If something went goofy, I didn't want to be on it. There were times I had to step near to straighten out the wheels, etc. For the most part I tried to stay mostly clear.

The winch is a 2500lb Warn 2.5ci.

 

i have had my friends kodiak dangeling freely on a winch cable before when winching back up a cliff he actently let the quad go off of. we just threw our coat on the line incase of it snapping but still stayed sitting on the quad.!

 

Hi Jefish,
I has seen your video, is beautiful, I also use premiere with matrox rt 2000.
I just bought the rincon and I would like to mounting the winch as yours that doesn't need to remove the aluminium skid pan; can you tell me which model is your winch mounting kit?
