I have a Moose Plow and a Warn 2000 and have had no trouble at all. It works flawlessly (sp) . I have used the heck out of it this year too. If this white stuff keeps falling I am going th have to use it today again. Oh well gives me a reason to ride the quad.

Good luck.

I have used mine for 2 years so far and have had no problems. I have heard of some people using a shorter cable (6' or so) instead of the long one so that the cable does not get damaged. I never have, Before I get ready for the regular use season i unspool the cable and re tention it so that it is loaded equally. You should have no problems.

I have the 60in Country plow on mine with the 2500 warn winch been using it for almost three years now. I haven't had any problems other then my switch going bad.

My Moose has 2 holes on each side of the center and yes it has the tension springs however I did learn that you have to be careful when you angle the plow, because if the blade kicks you get a dent from the plow mount in the back side of plow. I think if you were moving along it could realy warp somthing but this is not a prob if the plow is straight.

Been plowing hard this winter with my A2000, no problem. But, like everything else about a quad, maitinence is the key. Every season, I'll give mine a "refit" much like described on at this link. (www.dirtyhowies.com/warn_wich.htm) Hopefully mine will never look as bad as the one on that web page! Doah!

Hello. I have a warn 2000lbs and have been using it with my plow for 2 years. So far no problems. The only thing that I ever had to do with the winch was replace the switch.
