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

That polaris weighs about 800lbs with fuel so I would recommend the 3.0

You are wise beyond your years CC Grin  3.0 is the correct answer! Wink

I agree with the others, I have the Warn 3.0 and love it. 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.

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. Cheesy
