|  Subject: winch and plow question  January 9th 2012, 10:08 am | |
| So I am buying a winch and plow for my ranger and going to buy online cause it is much cheaper. What are some additional things that I will need that won't come with a standard Warn plow system and winch? Such as winch mounting bracket, wiring kit, etc? Also, a 4000lb winch is recommended for sxs's but I will mainly just be plowing with this winch. Woudl it be possible to get by with only a 3000lb? I was thinking of going with the new XT30 with the synthetic rope. If not, I will have to go with the RT 40 (4000 lb with wire rope) because of the price. Thoughts??? | |

| I don't get enough snow down here in NC for a plow set up so I am not going to be able to help you BUT give Rick at EMP a call and I bet he can. He is in OH and sells plows. I saw a video on one he had that didn't use a winch and it looked like it would be what I would want. | |

| I had one on my Ranger back in 2006 I got the plow from http://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/
I think I just had a 3k lb winch on it. | |

| Best deal on the XT30 is on RockyMountainatvmc.com. Looks like I will be making 2 separate purchases. Getting the plow package from gowarn.com. They couldn't match Rocky Mtn's price on the winch but were lower on everything else. Free shipping on the winch, so no big deal. Thanks for the input guys!! | |

| I bought the Glacier II from Polaris and their 3500 lb winch.
Pretty easy to take on and off but I do have to take my front bumper off before I can mount the front bracket. I put in the winch control switch in the gearshift handle and once you get used to it it works real well. | |

| The new Warn XT's have a wireless remote that I think I am going to LOVE!  But it also has the rocker switch that I will definitely mount somewhere just in case I get in a bind and the remote fails. | |
