Vipermax 4500 on P1000-5. Used every time I have been to windrock... did have to use a snatch block once on a big ledge. Figured it would be easier on the motor and battery.
with winches you really have to take advise with a grain of salt, unless they do your exact terrain not likely going to apply. for clay soil that has been rutted you are dragging a ton of force, kind of like he said skeg or ice and real wet use needs a reliable winch like the warn 45+ or superwinch terra 45. i seriously beat my winches, the ice/half froze swamp and clay here are the worst you will encounter and i ride couple times a month or more. warns other people use in this always work and i always buy superwinches, they are just as good had some over 12 years with only one contactor wearing out. i use doubling pully and terra 45 on my pioneer because i got it from amazon for 240 plus 20 for the rope.
everyone just useing it here and there to tip it off a rock or up some small loose ruts really never had the terrain for experience to judge. 4500 winch can pick up the whole machine in a second without even working, alot different having 2000 lbs on clay all the way

reminds me fatherinlaw had a warn 3500 that stopped after a few years, we have a lot of silty clay gets in everything and he took it apart and greased, has to do that once every few years. I never had to on a superwinch though

Love the aesthetics of them, how’s recovery been??I have the warn Axon 45s as well
Seems fine. I havent used it much on heavy stuff. It uses only the power it needs and the install is simple being that everything is housed inside the winch.Love the aesthetics of them, how’s recovery been??
It’s installed but you can’t see it because it’s behind the bumper. What I like is it’s plug and play with 1 wire to hook up powerYou got that right!! Is it installed? If so pics please...
Oh I see. I will have mine prominently displayed right on top of the Tough Country bumper.It’s installed but you can’t see it because it’s behind the bumper. What I like is it’s plug and play with 1 wire to hook up power
