im thinking about gettin a winch for my wolvy.......ne1 have one? pros/cons?

 

i was thinking of doing the same anyone out there got one how does it look

 

i dont have one but ive seen one and it doesnt look too bad i mean its a utility if ne thing it looks better with a winch but make sure your get a winch powerfull enough to get you out of stuff you ride in!

 

Had a 1500lb superwinch for over 2 years now. Gets me out allright. But when pulling out a 650# quad, you get sucked in, nothing you can really do about that though.

 

Just chain yourself to a tree (via your hitch if you have one), or drive up to a tree and put the bumper up against it with the winch feed just off to the side, or chain one or more quads together and you will be able to use the winch up to its maximum capacity without being dragged into the mudhole yourself. The lighter Wolverine is not enough of an anchor on it's own to pull something heavier than itself out of the mud...

 

Look at the Tusk Winches//they are prety cheap

 

Friend of mine with a Wolverine bought a winch and after one day riding took it off.
The extra weight on the front killed the handling.

 

We've had a winch on two seperate wolverines now. No problems with the handling whatsoever. We had to use an external mount due to the lack of space up front. If we are pulling something heavy, its usually in the river so we just put the bike in reverse and bury the tires down a little in the sand. After that she'll pull any size bike out without a problem.
