I am just curious as if you have had a certain brand winch on your ATV that if it has ever failed you? Please be honest in your answer as there are many people that are new (and old) to the sport that want a winch is best to fit there own personal needs. Please vote if you actually have owned a failed winch and what brand it was. This is not a popularity contest so thanks for your honest answer!

 

we just picked up our first atv winch from walmart .....made by master lock / 1500 lbs and only $80. CAD

mounted and waiting to be used ...will let you know

In fairness to manufactures the failures have to be considered within market share.

 

I've had a few Warns and a Polaris and none have failed me. Yet.

 

No failures yet. In the 3 months I've owned my viper it's been submerged in mud enough times that I wouldn't be too disappointed if it gave up but it keeps on working as good as new.

 

I'm not able to vote but my "built for yamaha" warn failed me. But it probably died from being submerged. I havent taken it apart yet to see. I replaced it with a mile marker 2500, and I've been pleased so far. I would have gone with a warn again but $150 vs $400 made the decision easy.

 

well...we had a rope that snapped waiting to get a winch in the next few weeks!

 

My Warn's have been great. I did see a Viper Max go for no apparent reason?

 

warn every single time will never buy another one just go with a superwinch
