    New Winch needed- Size? Make?

    My Rule 3300 died on the weekend. Can't seem to find parts or where to get a new one. So I am looking at some other options.

    What size of a winch are you guys running on your units? What make?

    Just trying to get some info to make a decisions.

    I'm running a terra 45 superwinch with synthetic rope.

    I have fitted these on several machines and never had any issues.

    Have burned out a few(plow with the machine alot)having great luck with a Warn,it has stood up better than the others I have had,as far as size as big as your mount can hold,3 to 4500 lb is my choice.Cheers NCT

    Have a 4700 # Warn on the front, just installed a Terra 3500# Superwinch on the rear , The warn is great, haven't used the back one yet but noticed it reels a lot faster than the Warn.

    Yup,, the Harbor Freight special!!!!! I had a Badlands 3000lb winch on my first machine, and it was great!! It was really fast and strong compared to the top end Warn winch. I had the machine for a little over a year, and I've had more than my fair share of use of the winch,,,,, performs flawlessly!!

    Since then, I have outfitted my 980 Hustler with a Venom 4500, and my wife's Max IV has a Viper Classic 3000lb with synthetic rope. I haven't used them yet, but the reviews are out of the roof. They seem to be somewhat of a favorite of the ATV guys in my area. Make sure that you do a very thorogh comparison.
