Here is some info I learned from Warn. I had a guy asking about a 4.0 winch and mount for his BF. Warn said that you cannot use a 4.0 winch on one, that the batterie and alternator are not large enough to run one. You will be pushing it to use a 3.0 winch.

 

man, I didn't even know they made a 4000lb quad winch. I use a 3000lb on my Brute Force with no trouble at all, they sure don't have very big batteries though.

 

4k lb winch is a new one on me. The 3k just came out in the last year anyway, let alone a 4k.

 

I have been waiting for weeks for a warn winch mount. Also for snow plow brackets for b.f.

 

Yup, there's a 4k lb. warn winch ....and yea...they recommend something like 600 CCA rated battery to run it. I just went thru trying to decide on a 3K or a 4K for my Argo.

Do the research: I have ordered from these people(Click here: e-Winches.com - Home Page ) and they are very prompt in shipping.

4.0ci ATV Winch
Utility vehicles do so much work they deserve their own winch: the new WARN 4.0ci. It's a first cousin to the popular new generation WARN ATV winches that have impressed everyone from riders to writers.

This utility winch also features the Express InstallTM wiring system and a specially designed contactor pack. All in all, the WARN 4.0ci makes utility vehicles even more indispensable.

just use a 2000 lb or a 2500lb and a ****** block if you need 4000lb pull.

 

J.C.! What would you ~really~ need a 4000# winch for-on an ATV? Are you planning on repo'ing 3/4 ton trucks? 2k-3k ought to be PLENTY. If not, use a ****** block. Don't fall into the "he who has the biggest ***** "nuts" the most" trap!------Damn! Oh, and if you're wondering (or give a f--k) why a Suz. dude is posting here: I raced Kawi's and still LOVE 'em!

 

No offense, but anyone is welcome here[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] We all ride for the same purpose, like mud, mud, and more mud, right...... All the brands are ok these days, except when you come to trucks of course[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] As for winches, hey whatever a guy wants to put on his rig, all the power to them.
By the way if I am stuck up too my arsh in mud, I do not have time nor the patience to be hooking up ****** blocks[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

jpsdiving.......

I wonder why the specs you have call for a 12amp/hour min battery for winching for the 4000ci, when on warn's site it calls for a 500 CCA min. ??? The 12 Amp/hour is what they recommend for a 3000ci. I just wonder why that site would say one thing and on warn's site...it says another ? BTW I went with the 3000ci for the argo and just LOVE it...
