2012 Sporty Winch Question
I just purchased my 2012 Sportsman 500H.O. this week. I noticed that it's already wired for a winch. Do i need some sort of mounting kit to install a winch on it? Also any recommendations on a winch would help. I don't plan on putting it in the mud to often, just mainly trail riding. Please advise, I know you guys know your stuff! Thanks.

Warn is the best!!
If you are comfortable with spending a little more money upfront, I would definitely go with Warn! You will need a mounting plate (specific to your machine) and the winch...I would recommend 2500 lb for utility quads and then the choice is yours whether you go with cable or synthetic!

I have had warn but I put two viper winches on my mine and my wifes xp's. Motoalliance.com is the website I believe. They are also on ebay. I have ahd better luck with these than I did with my warn 2500lb, my warn 300olb worked perfect.
My buddy broke an axle the last weekend we rode and I had to pull him up all the steep hills, usually required the winch because you couldn't really build any speed. It worked perfectly. On my 850 I have the 3500lb and the rope on hers it is the 2500lb with cable.
