Winch and Plow?
I am purchasing a 2012 Sportsman 500 H.O., I am looking to put a winch and plow on it to just push some snow out of my driveway. I will not have any other use for the winch, I won't be riding anywhere I would get stuck. So basically I am just looking for a winch that will lift the blade up and down.
I'm really looking to keep the price down on this setup, what is the best option?
Thanks

I have a winch operated and my father-in-law has the hand lift...I think that actually the handlift isust as fast or faster!! The hand lifters are very simple cam design and very simple to install and operate! I really think that if I had no use for the winch other than the plow, I would spend the 40 extra bucks or whatever it is on the plow and be done with it!! As far as choosing a winch if you go that route, I think there may be some cheap brands that make 1000 lb ones but for the most part you are looking at 1500 lb. Another thing to consider is that buying the cheap winch is going to leave you with a cheap winch-hopefully it lasts an entire winter!!

Here's a pretty good deal I think...All said and done with rebate under $200...Also if your doing alot of plowing I would get the short piece of synthetic plow rope...The wire wears rapidly when plowing and eventually breaks...

If your just using it to lift a plow, a 1000lb would be plenty. At least get a 2000 incase your ATV or you have to get another ATV out of a spot.
