winches????

well guys the time has finally came for the rhino. it is going to be getting a winch now the questions is. what one are you guys running on your sxs. ive never had to buy a winch for a sxs. my parents rhino came with a 3000lb warn. but ( i dont want to give 500 for a warn) unless its the only good one out there.
Kfi
warn
ramsey
venom
super winch
promark

I'll probably go with a 4000lb. Promark from ebay. I have a Gorilla (Promark's old name) winch on my Rancher and it is good.

KFI is one of our sponsors, I have heard nothing but good from the ones that have them. Myself I have a viper elite 4000lb on my rzr and have had no trouble. I don't believe I would buy a warn from stories that I have listened too.

thanks guys i will look into both of them

I have had my viper 4000 lb in an s rzr and now in my 900 and it has always worked. I have know idea how many times it's been submerged but it still works. Dependabl

Viper Max 4000 widespool

I have / had a Champion from Advance Auto 3000 lb on sale $79 bucks with a 1 year warranty(thats about the life of them with me) .... used and abused a whole lot.... it died the other day RIP, I probably will or would get another one

I have the 4000 KFI and I have also ran the 4000 Viper and I have liked both winches but have had minor issues with both.. I ran the viper for a year and only issue I had with it was a solenoid went bad, I have been running the KFI for a couple years and I have replaced the solenoid and motor.. The new motor from KFI cost I think 45$.. Both companies replaced the solenoids for free..

The reason I had to replace the motor on the KFI is because I was trying to pull out a stuck ford ranger and I let the winch drag the rhino with the wheels locked for a good bit before I finally give up and after that it still worked but next time I pulled it apart to grease the gearbox I found the magnets in the motor were broken..

Either way you go I recommend at least a 4000lbs winch, I know when riding as a group we don't need a winch near as often but some day the time may come and you will wish you had went bigger..

thanks alot guys. i think im going to go with the viper 4000 wide spool
