I have the polaris 3500# and has worked flawlessly so far. It made it through a tough winter of commercial snow plowing. I also have a Warn it's good too. They make about the same level of noise and same line speed. The warns cable is tougher than popo's. But I love my Amsteel blue synthetic on my Viper winch. As far as that goes, it's a good winch too.

If you have the money get the Warn, line speed, long life and if you have a choice go with the synthetic cable. I have a superwinch and it works good, but the Warn is easier to free spool and the line appears to handle better when spooling up and does not twist or get tangled as much.

an overseas company makes the cheap polaris winches now(the ones that come stock on the bikes) the ones that used to say polaris on it also said made for polaris by warn or had a warn sticker on it. imo
