Did more work on the 2001 Polaris and plow assembly; try to explain how I put it all together. Plus after seeing the video I realize I prononced winch as "wench" ??!?!?

@wackomatt1212 Mine burned up too; so I just opened up the box and hard wired it with a 3-way switch on the handle bar.

my buddy had a home made plow for his ranger he had the same winch it didnt last the winter when the winch got cold it sucked

@mortie806 Yea it does get 'sluggish' when it is real cold ( the remote broke last winter and I had to hard wire it). When this one finally goes I want to buy a good one

that is relly bad for the front rack

[bbo40]

actually the hitch is not bolted to the rack; but to the metal frame underneath the rack. I checked it this spring and the rack and metal has not developed any cracks; but this set-up is too weak to really pull the ATV out of the mud or anything that heavy duty............

i used a drill switch and mounted it to the handle bars lol

[dkupris7]

he mounted the winch wrong

[Imjustgonnadoit]

you got the same winch as me i found that its too slow and in the cold the remote needs to stay warm , and the button push thru and get stuck .the nice thing about it is that i mounted it on my brake handle which helped with time. ill be look ing for a faster one next year

Awesome! Might think of putting lights on quad off the slide in. On blade might be rough on bulbs. On blade also may make light jump. Looks awesome!
