If your quad gets any bigger..........You will need to up-grade to a TRUCK winch!!!!!
The 3.0 will be too small also!!!....LOL...LOL....
I used my 2.5 a couple of times so far.......But not for the 450 S.P. it was for a Kawi 360 Kvf
Scrammy I just need to check the AWD switch before I start to winch.....That helps!!!..LOL..LOL...

I got the Warn/Polaris 2.5 when I got the X2. Son's ATP has the same. They've been good for us. I've pulled out his ATP, a friend's Sportsman, a Kawasaki Lakota, a Honda Recon, and my own X2 with my winch. Tough to get traction when you break through the crust of snowblower snow. Had to move my truck to get a good winch point that would pull me straight out. I highly recommend them.
