Ok i know this has prolly be discussed on here a million times but i need some input. The polaris winch on my X2 is on it's way out the door and i am gonna have to replace it. What size and brand are you guys using and what are your likes and dislikes?

 

Oh boy, here we go again! LOL! My buddy just ordered a Warn 2500 RT with synthetic rope from Rocky MT atv for a great price (around $300 with coupons....best he could find online) for his 2008 sp800. I will probly order the same when my well crafted polaris pos chinese made wanna be warn winch leaves me stranded!

 

a warn 3,000 lb. imo.

 

warn 3000 or 2500.

 

2nd that.

 

That guy on E-Bay (moto-alliance) says a 4000lb winch he sells will fit with cutting about 1/4" on the plastic on grill

 

I would say nothing smaller than a 3000. Just to be on the safe side. had to lift my buddies 500 sportsman out of a hole while having the machine hang from a tree (long story) and he "had" a 2500. that was the last time that winch worked.

 

If the winch comes with a synthetic rope then it's a XT 2500 the RT comes with a steel cable.
I have a warn xt 2500 and it's worked great and recently i bought a xt 3000 for my other quad and it's been pretty good so far.

 

Has anyone had their winches stall out? I guess I have had a 1500 lb on an older machine and never stalled it out. I agree a bigger winch will last longer being it is worked less.
