I agree AJATV'er wrote:You better worship the polaris. If you make it un happy you will pay. Ken and I learned our lesson last year when we took ours away from the rocks and to the flat stuff. We broke belts and A arms. Remember worship the polaris and keep it happy.
now that you have moved from the hondas to the poo's your gonna have to get used to this thing they call "breaking down".....

Ummmm...what size winch is that???
With the weight of the Polaris...it should be at LEAST 2000....that's bare minimum. 2500lbs is normal...and 3000lbs is what should be used.

Oh yeah...Jack and I maxed out our 2500 many times in the snow. A 2500 only pulls about 1800lbs....

and i have a snatch Block and extra cable rope
It's 2k....You better take a snatch block for the snow....not joking. A 2k winch pulls about 1000-1200 lbs...so basically, only 200-400 lbs more than the quad!
A second snatch block might not be a bad idea.
