I have a warn 2.5 on the front (works great) and a cheap venom on the back (seems to work alright..only used it once). The thing that I don't like about the venom is the way that it free spools. The warn is probably worth the extra money it will always be there when you need it.

Warn 3.0ce is another great model. It can be spendy but I feel like it has been worth it.

 

hey POLARISSportsman500HO what do you mean you dont like the way it freespools? Whats wrong with it. Thinking of buying one so I was just curious.

I say go for it. Buy One. Why not if it fails you're only out 100 bucks. You can buy 3 more and still not pay what a Warn cost.

Of course that includes the 3 walks out of the bush....

 

all suzukis in my "part of town" come with a warn winch so i was lucky in that respect.

If you have the winch and atv for a while that extra money spread over a few years isnt that much after all.

I guess which to get all depends on your priorities....its great to save money on certain things but

For the amount of money you spend on an ATV and other accessories, a warn winch is not that much more. Most guys have no problems spending lots of money on beer and smokes and junk food that would pay for the Warn in a few months.

Everyone has things they wouldnt think twice about spending money on and other things they scrimp on. I know a guy who buys all his clothes at a second hand store because he would Never spend a lot of money on clothes, but yet he spends $50 a month on new DVD movies, buys his lunch at work every day ( 100-150/month ), smokes a pack a day ( 200 ) a month, buys 3 take out coffee a day ( 80 - 100 / month ), etc etc.

Anyways, all im trying to say is

before deciding look at all your other expenses. maybe cutting out that take out coffe for a few months will pay the extra for a warn.


Heck, if I wanted to save money I could have bought an off brand ATV with an off brand winch


Oh yeah. I quit smoking a few years ago and my monthly payment on my ATV is less than what I spent on smokes. To think of all the money I spent on cigs over the years

 

i have had 4 warn winches and every one of them has been absolutely great and i get plenty of use out of my winches. i know when i am buried where i can't see my wheels i know that my warn will get me out. and i see you got a brand new atv you should have just gotten one with it. when i have bought my arctic cats i have always gotten one for free (supposed to pay the 69 dollars but i install them myself)

 

i have warn 2500 on the front of my sp have had no problem with it. but i did order a vemon 2000 winch of ebay. i plan on mounting it on the rear of my sp. for 131.99 to my door it didnt seem bad. i will let you guys know how it turns out.

 

Hi I also have a warn 2000 and a 3000 for my atv's they work great and will work for a long time one of them is six years old and works like new. I was told if you go in a lot of water and mud you should run the winch all the way out and back in once in a wile if you dont use it for a wile. I also use mine on my snow plow in winter. good luck
