Title: What size winch to buy for a 2005 700 Polaris Post by: Trail_Shark on March 12, 2006, 09:24:44 PM Does anyone have any comments on the different size winches available for a 2005 700 Polaris? I will only be using it to pull my bike or someone else’s bike out and was wondering what the minimum size I should get? (1.5, 2.5 or the 3.0). Does the size determine the "Pulling Power"?
Thanks Title: Re: What size winch to buy for a 2005 700 Polaris Post by: Bigscrb15 on March 12, 2006, 09:26:37 PM That polaris weighs about 800lbs with fuel so I would recommend the 3.0

Just listen to it run when re-spooling the cable, you can hear it's a good quality winch. Here's a link to Rocky Mt.
I would look around for the best price, I got mine for $359 from Rocky Mt, now they went up on the price. Don't know what's with that, but the 3.0 is a great winch, it's water proof. http://www.rockymountainatv.com/productDetail.do?prodFamilyId=3772&navTitle=ATV+Accessories&webCatId=24&pageLinkUri=&vehicleType=&webTypeId=153&navType=type Title: Re: What size winch to buy for a 2005 700 Polaris Post by: MachineDog on March 13, 2006, 10:03:10 AM Not really, the 2.5 would do just fine too. We have one on our [img=http://legend-core.com/pics/atvs/P2280006.JPG]http://800lb Arctic Cat 500cc TBX[/img] and with all the gear, cooler in one fender box, tow straps, gas, and a guy driving it comes 1000lb+. Ofcourse, we've only gotten *it* stuck 2 times. It got us out both times, besides for when the winch was completely under the mud.. that time we needed the help of a Ford diesel which idled us out of the mud. :D
