Anyone out there use a ****** Block? Im looking to buy one in the morn just to keep with me when Im riding, but where on the Polaris would be the best spot to hook the cable up to once I run it through the ****** block

 

I wondered the same thing!

R'

 

I carry one..I actually use it more for moving logs that I can't get a straight pull on..with the 3000# winch I've never had to use it for the leverage..but it is with me if that need ever arises.
The Sportsmans have a "tow hook" near the bottom up front..see pic below..
The XPs have a ring style "tow hook" up front.

 

yep that little bar is what is used to to hook to to and the older ones had a little U hook in the same area.

 

Your right I do have that I just wasnt sure if would be strong enough. Thats great guys.

 

High Octane hit the nail on the head for location. Once you get a ****** block I recommend using it at all times if possible. Will extend the life of your winch a lot!

 

I agree with HighOctane that is the best spot and keeping 2 with you will increase your winch power that much more. I know we have been in some serious S##T only thing that saved us. ****** blocks and tow straps. Did burn out a winch in our early days dealer recommended the ****** block and showed us the return location.

Have fun Boggin

 

I just bought one ****** block and a tree saver strap and a 20ft tow strap. I should be good. But your saying have 2? Im guessing it just gives you more possiblities when stuck right?

 

Does anyone have any links to some vids or good instructions on these?

 

When using a winch keep the revs up a bit and that will help the winch go a little faster and not drain the battery as much. Also, if you can, drape a heavy coat or blanket over the line so that if it should snap or release suddenly it won't become a projectile. The jacket helps slow down the cable by absorbing much of the tension when it releases. Gloves are a really good idea if you have aluminum or steel cable on your winch. If you switch to synthetic line you should also put on a new set of rollers.
