Superwinch 1130220 LT3000 12V DC Winch 3,000lb(1361kg) Single Line Pull with Roller Fairlead 3/16in x 50ft Steel Wire Rope Corded Handheld Remote

Works perfect, the only thing I questioned was the unit was not brand new, it appears to have been a returned unit. The wires had the appearance of being previously connected and the winch had some paint chips missing on the housing and base. I tested the unit before it was installed and it worked as intended, so I installed it.

I purchased this winch, primarily based on the reviews that I read. Well, it was a great purchase that exceeded my expectations.The main reason I purchased this particular plow was for lifting a 60 in plow blade on my 2003 Honda Foreman 450s for winter plowing. Lifting that big honkin' blade by hand over and over again would have definitely left me sore for a few days. The installation was a little time consuming (although I am a neat freak). Mounting the winch to the custom mount, also purchased here on Amazon, was a direct fit. Running the relay and wiring is what the time consuming part was. I ended up mounting the relay in the rear glove compartment, then ran the supplied positive and negative wires back to the battery. For the 12VDC accessory supply, I spliced into the cigarette lighter power, so that way, the winch will only be able to operate when the key is on.I've used this set up through one winter and so far so good. It made it through with zero issues. The steel rope never got tangled or hung up either.The unit also comes with a remote switch where you can plug into an optional socket that also needs to be mounted. I have not gone that far with it, but certainly will in the future.Other than just using this for plowing, the first actual use of the winch, 3 days after I finished the install, was to winch out my girlfriend's friend's car that got stuck in a ditch that runs along my driveway. After hooking up to the front frame of the Saturn Vue, the winch pulled the damn thing out. I couldn't believe it. If that wasn't reassurance enough that this winch was going to be awesome... I don't know what is :)I highly recommend this winch for you ATV. You will not be disappointed!***UPDATE***Almost 6 yrs later, still going strong!! I use this winch extensively every winter to hoist and lower a 5 ft steel plow. No signs of wearing out.

This winch is one of the most quiet winches that I've ever heard. The supplied instructions are generic in the sense that it only shows you a diagram of how the parts are hooked together.I mounted this winch on a 2006 Arctic Cat 650 H1. All total it took me roughly 3 1/2hrs to get everything mounted, wires ran, and everything hooked up. I bought a winch mount for my Arctic Cat 650 H1 off of Amazon.The winch mount has the middle portion raised to compensate for the front tow hook welds. The middle portion of the winch mount is raised up roughly about 3/4in. The supplied winch mount for this winch doesn't exactly fit as described in the instructions. I turned the plate backwards on the winch because of the supplied winch plate design. If you put the plate the way the instructions dictate, the cable will rub the supplied winch mount when mounted on a Arctic Cat 650 H1.I ended up having to go to Lowes and buy 4 8x1.25mm bolts to make the SuperWinch bolt up using the Arctic Cat winch mount. The supplied bolts (Arctic Cat winch mount) are about 1in too short.Despite having to go buy new bolts (that fits), the hardest part was just running the wires for the SuperWinch. I have the solenoid for the winch mounted on the inside of the left side panel (right beside left knee). The wires running from the winch itself I ran up through the steering column area and around the airbox. The breaker box (about 2inches long) I was able to fit underneath the seat near the rear brake reservoir. The handle switch is mounted on the right side handle bar below the front brake reservoir. The remote control switch hookup is mounted on the left side of the ATV right below the left handle bar, 1/2in above the "Arctic Cat" sticker logo. The rest of the wire hook ups were fairly simple (just a matter of plugging them in).Once everything was hooked up, it worked like a charm. After the initial test, I performed a strength test by running the winch cable over a huge oak tree limb and winching the 720lb Arctic Cat 20ft up into the tree. Strange sight it was, but the SuperWinch LT series 3000lb winch put my 4wheeler in the tree quite easily.
