Default polaris winches Suck

Add another to the Junk chinese polaris winch club. 1st one lasted maybe 3 rides, then winch quit. Would make noise & showed 12 volts across terminals so not contactor. Still under warranty so dealer swapped out. 2nd has been doing fine for almost 3 years now. It has seen alot of use too, pulling out of mud, plowing.

just went thru same thing thought it was a bad contactor, bought a new one and installed it then nothin. took it apart and found a broken gear nd bad spring. anyone know who makes the winch maybe u can order parts cant afford to buy another after the 100$ contactor that prolly cant be returned.

I have a super winch, plowed twice with it, alot of up and down of the plow and no problems yet. Hope it stays that way.

It is a T1500, I wonder if will be strong enough to pull me and the SP500 outta the mud.

The only thing I don't like about the winch so far is the switch box is as big as a pack of butts!
