Big D 1 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Where is the most reasonable place to accessorize it (winch, plow, stuff for ice fishing) Have looked at hsolist, but haven't found much that I want.Also, does it matter what type of winch? I know Warn is pretty good, but are they that good? I can find a no name winch for about 1/3 the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AQUAJOE Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Warn is the top of the line ans very rarely fails. You get what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckN Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 I agree with Aquajoe. Have a Superwinch on one machine, Warn on the other. No doubt the Warn is superior. I have a 2,000 lb and I can't stop it. If pulling something it will lift the ATV over end before stopping the winch. The Superwinch....great for a snow plow, but I hope you don't get really stuck in the middle of nowhere. Just my $.02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

castmaster Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 an hsolist seller usually has the warn 3.0 for $375 with free shipping. thats pretty much the cheapest i've seen.of course whatever you do DONT buy your accessories at the dealer! that same warn winch is $579 at hitching post.

bgmny Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 got my Warn 2.5 for $275 with shipping on hsolist. I've seen other, cheaper winches on machines and they don't compare to the warn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big D 1 Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 wow, that is cheap, did that include the mount for your machine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Gangl Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 i wouldn't pay too much for a mounting kit. i got 1 with my warn for my grizzly and i could have made closer fitting mounts myself. they send you a handfull of washers and tell you to shim as needed to fit the frame and get clearence. good winch...cheesy mounting setup.

Big D 1 Posted February 27, 2006 Author Share Posted February 27, 2006 Yeah, I understand that they make them universal, which to me means tons of slack...may just pick up some plate myself and make it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripper Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Something I haven't noticed mentioned is also getting a choker( or making one) and a turn buckle so that you can double the power of your winch when things get realy tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
