Any thoughts? My 2500lb winch on my atv has dragged the Maverick out several snow banks... I do NOT run mud and most of the time I would be winching in snow or rock climbing which imo does not tax a winch like thick mud does.

Also I can run a swatch block and double my pulling power if I ever really get in a bind and the winch struggles.

I'm thinking a 3,000lb series winch with synthetic cable. Who has the lightest one?

i use a harbor freight 3000 lb and it works great and was only $55

will prob change cable to rope at some point but allis good for now...

Sweet.

Anyone else? Any place to look up weights of 3,000lb series winches? Like warn vs Viper vs superwinch vs mile marker, etc.

look at kfiproducts.com they make some good winches. I've used them and never had an issue. customer service is excellent also. They have a stealth series that are all black with synthetic rope also.

I would think 3500 lbs would be the smallest you should go

Wouldn't do a warn 4500 with synthetic rope. Just broke mine pulling a ATv out of the mud. Pos

Im liking the look of the KFI Stealth 3500. Now if only someone made a good looking front bumper with reciever mount. So you could run qd cables and put the winch on the front or back as needed.
