Can anyone recommend a decent winch that doesn't cost as much as their machine?
Any brands out there that have let you down before?
What's the best bang for the buck.

I'm shopping around and find some price tags a bit rude!!:icon_ cry:

LOL For the lazy people though (like myself) thats not going to get the job done. The first name I think of when someone says winch is WARN. Although I'm sure they are probably a bit pricy.

Here is one that I would consider a decent price..

man we got some lazy people around here

that does not seem like a bad price tho. i would opt for one if i had the money.

 

[Fourtrax]

You got that right.. I always say "work smart not hard" Which means.. use a winch not a come along.. LOL

 

[blowfishRus6]

hahahaaa.

i wish i had one yesterday. sucks trying to drag a fourtrax thru some ruts i got stuck in.

 

[Fourtrax]

LOL yes thats never fun, I don't have a winch either I usually just enlist the help of my wife and my truck when I get stuck bad enough that I can't push it out. But someday I hope to have a winch it would be SO handy.

i was out on the power lines by myself, not to mention i messed up my idle screw so if i let off the gas it stalls, the battery is dead so i have to kick start it, it does not like to kick start when its sideways down in a rut so i had to pull it up to where it was flat. spent 30 mins pulling and trying to kick start the thing. and it wasent even muddy, just some deep ruts that i would stall in and screw myself over.

a winch would have saved my life big time.

Cabela's -- Superwinch LT2000 ATV Winch

[Fourtrax]

with some metal and a welder you can put it there.

for real though, would you have to replace the front guard with a guard with a winchmount on it?

Well I'm definitely going with a winch. It's just a matter of what kind and how much.
I'll be shopping around no doubt....cause they do get pricey!

Yeah, Warn would be my first pick, but they are probably going to be pretty expensive. The SuperWinch posted above in the Cabelas ad seems like a decent winch for a decent price.

I also found a good deal on a Super Winch. Next question: Are the winch brackets universal? Do they accommodate all types of winches?
