Are viper winches any good?

Thinking about getting a 5000lb wide spool Viper winch, wanted to see if anybody knows anything about them.

why 5000lbs...is it for your rhino....

you don't need a 5000lbs winch...you gonna pull your frame apart...

WV rhino... get a 3500lbs winch with a snatch block...that will give you about 7000lbs pulling force...trust me!!!!!

With this I shouldn't have to use a snatch block, unless I need it...right? We got stuck this winter in the snow and our 2500 wouldn't do ... I got a welder Bubba

if you would have put a snatch block on that 2500lbs winch...it would have pulled you out!!!!!!!!!

I'm trying to save you some money!!!!!!!

i have a 4000 viper max.

now trouble at all.

will somebody please chime in....I need some help!!!!!!!!

I have a 4500lb viper elite on the Joker. I have it buried in the mud and deep water, and it has never let me down. I should take it out, take it apart, clean it out and refill it with grease, but I just don't seem to get around to it. The customer service from those folks is outstanding.

Bubba ... 4000lb was $240 and the 5000lb is $280

Do you really think it'll break somethin Bubba?!?!

I have a 4500 works great. 234. The wide spool would be cool. Even comes wit a snatch block bubba.

Get the 5000 lb winch. Never know when you and several other rhino's could be stuck at the same time. You could pull all three out at once. Might wanna put an Optima under the seat -- I bet a 5K winch takes lots of power...

We have a vision -x , 40ah.

I have bought 2 Venom winches...The guy building them used to be partners with the Viper guy! My Venom winches have worked perfect and you cant beat the price. He is on Ebay

I have a new 4000 ViperMax, wire rope, still in the box for $200. Also have one on the RZR, syn rope. Liked the one on the UTV so much I bought this one for the boat trailer and then didn't use it.

Get the Viper. We got a 3k viper max on the rhino, and used it for days non-stop plowing snow this winter. My second Viper is setting here waiting to go on the RZR. I went with the 4k max with synthetic rope on it. Only had the one on the rhino stall out once on a very hard side pull in ruts, but it was just a straight line pull. All vipers come with a mount, fairlead, cover, snatch block, and rubber winch cable saver.

Bubba is right on about the snatch block doubling your capacity.

I have had some of their winch's & no issues

No....bubba...you got a welder..

everybody!!!

gotta 5000 on my rzr, they say it won't fit to big but it does bigger better best. Look when u order for discount codes, got mine for around 200 with bumper block other junk it pulls a severe load more than 25 30 35 40 45 that's why IT IS a 5000lber just get the tech support is better than venom that's why I switched.[warn to expensive but line speed is still faster]

Just ordered a Viper 3500 winch for my snow plow this winter...mY luck,,No snow,

A little to early to tell isn't it since winter has not started yet

I have had a 3500 viper on my RZR for two years now with no problems.
