Warn ATV Winch
Received this winch by mail very fast and I was very pleased with what all came with the winch. It came with everything you needed to install the winch on your ATV including a mounting plate and all electrical wiring and contactor and controls for your ATV handlebars. I bought this winch to replace a Warn 4000lb. winch that didn't last 1 1/2 year on my UTV. I am very pleased also with the quality of this winch set up and the fairlead does look cool to boot. Now that I've used this winch several times in the muddyest of conditions and even while it was under water. We love it, it works smooth as butter and is alot quieter than our Warn ever was I don't thing I'll ever buy another Warn winch and I've owned SEVERAL Warn winches in my last 40 years of 4X4ing in the mud. SUPERWINCH excellent!!!!!
I love the winch! I have used it three or four times and it is working beautifully. The winch, it's anodized aluminum fairlead and synthetic rope all have a quality feel especially considering it's price is considerably less than a Warn brand winch.
The kit was quite complete though some bolts were shorter than I would like. There was more than enough wire for installing it on my Gator UTV and I like that the kit comes with both a permanent mount switch and a pendant one which plugs into the provided socket.
If you don't feel comfortable figuring out basic electrical wiring like switches and solenoids you may have trouble. The instructions are pretty thin and in one place I found them to be incorrect causing the winch to run in the opposite direction as the buttons say. Simply swapping a couple wires quickly took care of it but if you don't have any electrical experience I suppose it would be frustrating.
I do not like the doubling up of two fusible links like they did. It looks cheap and they did not provide any way of mounting them. Enclosing them in a plastic soap box would work but instead I bought a re-settable breaker from the auto parts store.
I know I have made a few negative comments but all in all I feel this is a great winch at any price and a real bargain for about $230.
