you can also carry a 4 ton come along
get a GOOD winch kit, with a snatch block or TWO, and you can then pull from all sorts of angles
SOMETHING else to consider, is MANY times when you DO get stuck, there isn;t even anything to HOOK a winch line onto?

then , you MIGHT need a LAND ANCHOR to carry with you


the best tool to carry with you while riding is YOUR BRAIN,(and don't laugh, many don't use there far too often when off roading and get in trouble due to this simple rule)
and KNOW how to use it, as in learn right and wrong ways to do things and LIMITS of YOU< your machine and tools you have with you !
JUST cause you BUY something doesn't mean you know proper way to use it!

if it looks IFFY< and your alone
a light bulb should come on and tell you, BAD IDEA HERE
go around or BACK
or be prepared to get stuck and be bale to get out on your own!

KNOWING HOW to winch correctly, and that's a SKILL< you learn , , its NOT just stick a cable on a tree and go
there is a Right way, a safe way and many wrong ways to winch things out
information on proper ways to winch are out there learn them, and you will be a LOT safer and better off in the long run!

GOING prepared is key, better to have and NOT need than need and NOT have, when you off road Alone!

snatch blocks will double pull to don;t forget and easy to carry and use, and help with odd angles , based on where land anchors are

only thing I would add here is be CAREFUL< if that winch is mounted to the rack, as them small bolts are NOT made to be used to pull entire atv with. and I have seen them shear off, on smaller things besides winching,

that is why they mount winch plates to the frame, as its is so much stronger!
so heads up there
what kind of can is on that rifle and what caliber? also, whats the ruling over there with that type of stuff
fairly easy going, or a lot of hassle and paperwork?

OK cool, I was a class 3 dealer here for a b while, and some times getting them can be much harder than needed, too many folks don;t understand how helpful they are to the ears and safety side, all they see if TV and Movie's and think BAD things about them
a shame, if more folks used them, many older folks wouldn;t be deaf today if you asked me!

but yes, I have seen the rack bolts shear off when folks have tried to tow out stuck sleds by tying off on the rack
them small 8-10 mm bots just snap right off, so wanted to advice you on that
as one's I seen break, ended up with a bunch of damage to atv as they bent and torn racks like they did?

Hi Redtape,

How about something like this:

I'm sure that is a help
but on a stuck 1500+ lbs UTV like OP has, that won'r do much, being only a 2500 lb deal, and for the costs, might be better off with a hand operated come along
OR a chainsaw set up,Winch that is on a decent sized chainsaw, and the saw could in itself come in handy on a trail too?
