I wanted to start a topic about what winch you prefer. I would like to know what you look for in a winch as well, like cost,durability, spare parts, etc. Also about customer service. How many people here are looking for a winch? I am signing on moto-alliance as a sponsor. They sell the viper winch and anyone who has experience with this winch please speak up.
I have had 3 vipor winches, 2 - 3,000lbs and 1 - 4,000lbs. I prefer running a heavy duty winch on the Ranger thats why I use the 4,000lb. I look for a company to offer spare parts, or be able to send a product back for repair. Warranty of a product and it be durable. I used the 3,000lb winch's alot. I had a 700 sportsman and honda rincon 700 that loved the mud. I never had a issue out of any of those. I have used my 4,000lb once since I had it. The mounting bracket that came with my Ranger Kit worked perfectly. They supply a handle bar mount rocker switch and a corded remote. I had a contactor that was bad and called there customer service and they sent one out free of charge. They also offer spare parts once your winch is out of the warranty.
