Winch is a wimp!
This winch does not provide as much power (more like 500 lbs) pulling capacity. It is currently on my 660 Grizzly ATV the gear and electrical system is all working up to standards and I have not had any problems with water and the elements stopping the movement but the power is definately not there. The handlebar-mounted mini-rocker switch control is a great option. It is great for lifting my 41/2 foot snow plow but don't forget to purchase a mounting plate for your correct vehicle.

Warn Winch Installation
I can really only comment about the installation at this time (haven't had a chance to use it yet). I did go back to Warn to order the custom mounting bracket for my ATV. All of the instructions were excellent. The trickiest part was finding a decent location for the contactor. I ended up mounting it inside the ATV tool box located just forward of the tail light. I never use that storage anyway, so it was a perfect dry location. It took me a few hours, (just making sure I had everything good and sturdy). I did add a few flat washers in bolt areas where I thought they were needed. Other than that, I'm really pleased and impressed with Warn's Basic Winch Procedure Guide. I'm sure it will do exactly what I want which is pulling fire wood logs out of deep wooded areas.

Warn RT25 winch
This winch has proven to be invaluable around to farm. It is great for stretching barbed wire as well as out my friend's stuck atvs. I have never had any problem with this product and would highly recommend it to anyone with a medium to large atv.

Capacity Vs Lift
One must be careful when buying any of these winches. The "capacity" is not the dead-load it will lift. Usually they will lift 1/5 of their capacity. This particular model will not straight lift a 1000lb load. Just something to be aware of.

Wouldn't trust any other brand
I have used this winch with my Bombardier ATV for the last few years. I have used it for raising deer blinds into trees, pulling stuck vehicles out of the mud and getting my pudgy rear out of more than one ditch. It hasn't failed me yet.

Easy to install and works great too
I ordered this Winch to use with my Warn plow on my ATV. I was able to install the winch easily and it works great. I haven't had any problems and I used it all winter. The cable doesn't get caught up in the winch and it works without issue everytime. I would recommend this for your ATV. I can't wait to get stuck in the mud so that I can experience the pulling power of the winch as I pull myself out.

Solid Product
We installed this on a Yamaha ATV and have used it many time. It is rock solid and dependable. Easy to install and a great safety accessory to have on your vehicle.

Big pull, little package
I have this winch on my CAN AM 650 and have used it to move logs, rocks and to rescue my quad out of pretty bad situations. This unit is easy on the battery as long as it is not over loaded. The winch is water tight and trail worthy.

Warn RT25
This is a strong and durable winch. I used it to pull my truck out of the mud with my ATV without a problem and without draining the battery on my ATV.
I highly recommend the WARN winch line over the imitators!
