winch

I am new to the forum and new to the sxs world. I’m purchasing a 1000-5 deluxe and have been looking at options for several accessories. The biggest hang up is the Winch. I know I would like Warn because I’ve owned them before and had awesome luck out of them both. I’m just not sure about...

Looking for advice on replacing winch strap for plowing with my 1000-5. I believe my machine has the OE Warn winch, the previous owner had been using the KFI plow strap. I plan on replacing with the same thing. Does the bumper have to be removed to replace the winch rope? Or is there a...

I'm new to this forum and new to sxs as a whole- I live in the mountains of western PA and would like to add a winch to my new p700-4. Im looking to stay in the low-mid price range for a new winch ($200-250) because I'm not expecting much more use than a plow. Many of the winches in that range...

Hey all and merry Christmas! I got a super winch for Christmas and need a little advice on wiring it up. It says to wire the red and blue from the winch into the brown wire from the Ignition by the fuse. I have no clue where this wire is, I’ve searched and searched and have no clue. Does anyone...

I want to give a shout out to Montana Jacks. I have done a fair amount of business with them and they are always fantastic to work with. When you call, Scott (the owner) answers the phone and he's a great guy. They are a small shop in Montana but do a great deal of business with WARN and seems...

Hi guys, did any of you installing winch bothered to protect it with a breaker and if yes what size? Thanx for taking the time to answer.

recently installed the 2.5” highlifter lift kit on my 700. No problems at all so far, I threw some 28” BKT AT171’s on there on some m12 diesel 14’s gave a lot of clearance. SYA snorkel, half windshield, boss speaker and all. Just missing a roof because I’m thinking about getting the hump on the...

So I dusted off the box for a Champion 3000lb winch I bought with a trailer about two years ago over the weekend. I decided its never gonna pull me out of anywhere in the box, so I'm gonna slap it on the Pioneer 1k. Before we start: I know if I was buying a new one I should go heavier, and I...

Came across these foot swiches for marine anchor/windlass up/down. Wonder if it would help for snow plow members? Maybe mount on board with disconnect plugs when not in use.
