I bought a 700 kodiak and its time to start getting the essentials on it. I've had Warn on my previous two machines, but have read a lot about Warn cheapening parts and they don't last.What to believe???? Looking on the ole' web searches and there's a crazy amount of options. Since many here run ATVs for farm/ranch use, what's your thoughts on the newer models/brands. I am mostly light farm use- skidding out some logs, pulling posts, lifting equipment in the shop. Absolute will be 3000-3500#.


The only thing worse than losing........Is QUITTING!

I have a Super Winch on my UTV, I have had zero issues with a lot of use. My ATV has a Polaris winch, it also has been a good one. My neighbor has a Koplin winch, not too good.

The rifle has no will of its own it may be used for evil but there are more good men than evil men and evil will be corrected by good men with rifles.

On the badlands, steel cable or the alternative (rope?).
