This contactor is a great alternative to a more expensive OEM contactor. It is a straight bolt on and only requires a different connector for the control switch. The tech support is personnel and informative.
WELL, THE SWITCH DOES NOT HAVE LONG ENOUGH STUDS TO HOOK THE WIRES ONTO. ALSO DO NOT TAKE IT APART AS ABOUT 13 PIECES FALL OUT. SOME ARE TINY. TOOK ME 3 HOURS TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIT IT BACK TOGETHER BUT I SUCEEDED.WHEW!
I WILL HOOK IT IN TO THE WINCH AND SEE HOW IT WORKS. THE OHM METER SAYS IT WILL WORK OK.
Bought this winch to go on my 2009 Yamaha Rhino – have rugged woods/terrain on my property, and have been able to pull myself out of every rough spot I couldn’t drive out of with no problems. For the price, should have come with the wireless remote. However, this winch does everthing I’ve needed, be it pull my rig out of tight spots or pull trees out of the woods.
I bought a brand new 750 brute force that had this POS made in China Warn RT 2.5 installed on it.
First time I went to use it – it went into freespool and then would not come out. Leaving me stranded in the woods and with 50 foot of wire out.
I suggest you buy a cheap winch instesd. I’m through with WARN.
just received (early Dec) item is well constructed. All steel, 1 1/2″ dia attachment hole. labeled 8,000 lb capacity. used with 24v dc PullzAll Warn Industries 685005 PullzAll 24V DC Cordless Electric Pulling Tool as a ladder hoist. would be useful as a atv winch accesssory.
This is a very nice winch for the price. It was easy to install except that the main power cables were much too short meaning I had to go to the hardware store and buy some connectors and wire. The hook is a little small and the winch is very loud verses a Warn winch but these a small complaints about a otherwise fine winch. For the price I would highly recommend this winch.
This is a great package to get you started with an ATV winch. The winch itself is sufficiently powerful for midsize ATV’s. It comes with everything you need to use the winch. With almost 50′ of cable, there is plenty to get you out of most situations. The line speed is slow, so don’t expect a swift recovery, but it gets the job done. Not really an ideal winch for use as a snowplow lift (also because of the line speed), but it still does a decent job.
The line in/out switch is tactile, and has many mounting options. The power distribution box is a bit bulky, and was kind of a pain to mount inconspicuously. The wires from the power box to the control switch are excessively long for an ATV winch, so hiding them and keeping them out of the way can be a challenge, while the power leads from the box to the winch are almost too short. The included roller fairlead helps keep the winch cable in line while winching in, and helps keep the cable from fraying.
All in all, this is a great winch, especially for the price. If you find yourself using a winch very frequently and at higher loads, then this might not be the winch for you. But with the use of a snatch block this winch is more than capable of getting most ATV’s out of the mud, and for the most part a snatch block isn’t needed.
I needed a replacement winch for my snow plow. The old one would not retract. I searched on the type of winch I wanted and to my surprise, the one at Amazon.com popped up and it had a really good price. Shipping was a bit of a problem as they sidetracked me to the point I got frustrated and almost canceled the purchase with an offer which required me to “join”. The product cost me about $10 extra to get shipped in a timely manner, but I went ahead and opted for 2 day shipment. The problem I now have is I get Amazon email offering to sell me a “mounting plate” that had I required it, I would have ordered it. The problem is the mounting plate appears to be generic, have no idea what the plate fits, and generally speaking a winch is a winch for mounting, two holes.
Great Winch for the money,used it on my ATV to raise and lower plow .Well made and easy to install
