Champion Power Equipment 2000-lb. ATV/UTV Winch Kit

This is the second Champion winch that I've bought for my ATVs. I bought the 3500lb winch and now this 2000lb winch. Champion has been upping their quality and still bringing products to the market at an affordable price. I've own several ATV winches prior and while most have been reliable name brands, I dislike spending 200-400$ on them. So far this winch and the 3500lb winch have been extremely reliable. They are easy to install if you have existing brackets or winch mounting holes drilled on your machine. This 2000lb winch is installed on 2-center line bolts and nuts, whereas the 3500 lb winch is mounted with 4-corner bolts and nuts. Keep this in mind when buying! Both winches come with a mounting plate in case it is needed, as well as wiring. WOULD RECOMMEND!

My wife was recently in a car accident and just bringing her home (RV) from Trauma ICU. I was concerned we might have to find a place to stay temporarily due to needing to get her up into the RV and back down for appointments. I used a very long ramp from my box truck as , well the ramp. Prior to her arrival I tried a hand crank winch and a come along, neither giving the results I wanted. So I decided to try this winch and it worked perfectly. Not only faster and easier but also only very slight more in cost, which is easily outweighed by the convenience. The winch is mounted to a 2 x 8 x 5 foot long piece of lumber. That lays on my couch and allows me to use the two seatbelts to strap the piece of lumber. Works great. I have only two complaints. It needs a better free spool brake. When you release the drive for free spool, pinch the exposes sides of the spool to add resistance, otherwise the cable is going to bird nest. This happened twice and you will have to let the cable all the way out and then reel back in with tension held on the line to get the winding back tight. The other issue is the remote buttons. The are a little to hard to press.

I did a lot of research/shopping around online for winches before settling on this one. So far I have only done one pull, but it was a very long pull (about 70-80 feet) and it was uphill and the weight was easily over 1200 lbs. Anyhow, the winch performed pretty well for this pull, although I did have to stop twice to let it cool off because it was getting too warm. Considering the load and length of pull I think this little winch did great. You can find some cheaper winches online, but not by much and they generally look more generic and more cheaply built. I only gave it a 4 start rating because I don't like the handlebar control, I think it should just have a cable remote like the one on my truck winch. Basically the control is in the middle of your power cord. So you have about 4 feet of power cord that leads from your battery into the handlebar controller, then another 4 feet or so that leads from the controller into your winch. I installed this winch on my Skandic SWT utility snowmobile and I bought it for logging with the snowmobile in the winter. I logged cedar on my land all this winter and I needed a winch mostly for when I got stuck on my way up one particularly steep hill. I have a youtube video of my pull with this winch (search "Winching log and snowmobile" on youtube if you want to see a video of the winch in action). Pros Price Freespooling clutch 50FT Cable Comes with roller fairlead and plate Automatic load holding break Solid construction Performs well so far Fairly compact and lightweight for what it is Cons Handlebar mount controller Battery/controller cables are not very long (about 8 feet or so total from battery to controller to winch). I will update this review if I have any problems with the winch in the future, although I probably won't use it again until next winter.

Got this winch for the four-wheeler works great 👍

I got this primarily for a snow plow but it has all sorts of uses around the family ranch. I really like that there's not a separate solenoid, so there are only 2 components to install instead of 3. The winch itself is nice and compact. It fit easily into my crusty old Honda Fourtrax, which is a small ATV. I didn't even have to remove the front cargo rack or plastics to install it. Then I only had to remove the seat and battery cover to route the wiring. It was a very easy installation. I didn't care for the supplied mounting plate so I used an Extreme Max #5600.3166 mount, an exact fit for a 93-00 Honda TRX300. I did have to wallow out the holes for it to fit the small fairlead included with the winch. But that allowed the fairlead to fit behind the brush guard so it won't get smacked when I'm loading into the bed of a truck.

I've had it all summer and i bought it and mounted in on my lawn sweeper to have electric dump. its upside down and is still working great. Update: it's been another year, I've used it 2 summers and while I'm not using it a ton. Less than 10 times in the last 2 summers. The which itself is still performing flawlessly, the controller on the other hand is getting a little bit finicky. It has not seen any rain it sits inside all the time and it's on a Lawn Sweeper so it is only used when it's dry out. In other words my only complaints are the cords aren't quite long enough and the controller is kind of chintzy. But overall it's been a great product.

All seems work perfect! good wiring, .

Good winch that was easy to install (4 bolts, 4 wires and mounting the switch) and easy to use. Happy with its performance and piece of mind on my ATV.
