DRR S/Pro
| I've been using a Superwinch ATV winch bought at a yardsale for $20 for years. I just bought a Champion with remote, haven't installed it yet. It was about $160 on Amazon. |

| working at a polaris dealer I get to see some different things than I did when I was at the yamaha dealer.
Today I had to do a warranty winch replacement. The winch I removed was actually still good, just needs a slight repair. It's a two speed winch. 4500 lb, "rapid recovery". I could see that being an advantage at times. It won't have any pulling power on "high" but it will wind the rope quickly. Real quickly.
Also something handy to have is the magnetic safety stop, which is a fairlead that has a magnetic switch in it so that when the rope gets pulled close to the fairlead, it automatically cuts the winch off so you don't jam the rope in the spool and/or destroy the fairlead, rope, etc. Works good on UTV's, can't say on an enclosed trailer but it would be handy on an open trailer for sure.
on my UTV I also carry a soft shackle as well as a fid for repairing the rope if necessary. Synthetic rope can be repaired easily on the trail in minutes. May not have much of a bearing on this thread but I felt it worth mentioning for those that might like to have a lot of tools "just in case". My coworker makes his own soft shackles and they are real handy for UTV and ATV use, maybe even with pulling a race car into/onto the trailer. Might look into those. You can make them pretty easily. |

| One thing to check when buying is line speed. I have dragsters so I didn't need a stump puller winch. I even use a synthetic cord to pull it in. It is much nicer just yanking the digger up into the trailer within a minute or so. Ignore if you have a door car. lol

| I have a 3500lb HF in mine...It's been flawless and I also use the remote control you can get for them. Also running synthetic rope. There are better ones out there but for the cost it's hard to beat.
