  • It's a Warn
Style: Steel Rope Size: 2,500 lbs.
Easy to install, work as it should. It's a Warn

  • So Far, So Good!
Style: Steel Rope Size: 4,500 lbs.
I had some issues installing this winch but they were due to the vehicle, not the winch. I installed this Warn VRX 45 winch on a 2023 Kawasaki Mule Trans 4010. It fit behind the front bumper with room to spare. The winch is nicely finished and seems to be very well built. The supplied accessories and hardware are all top quality. The wires were more than long enough to be routed in a way that kept them from being seen and/or damaged. The installation instructions were clear and easy to read and understand. I didn't mount the dash-mounted rocker switch but I did install the wired remote plug in the dash. It's really tight under the Mule dash and contorting myself to get under there was a real issue. But I was finally able to find the ignition wire for a proper electrical connection. Once everything was installed I checked the function on the winch and remote. Worked just like it should. I like the easy turn dial on the winch that allows the cable to be pulled out to length. Another simple turn and you're ready to winch. The remote wire is long enough to easily control the winch from the front of the vehicle and remain a safe distance a way in case of cable failure. If I had a complaint it would be that this winch isn't going to win any speed contests. Winching under load is slow. Really slow. But, I knew that going in and it's about what I expected so I'm not gonna mark it down for that. Aside from that this winch performs quite well. It easily pulled the Mule out of a stream bed on my property that's very steep and about 40' long. It never reached it's duty cycle shutoff while doing that. Hardly a torture test but it is a real life test that's probably representative of the type of use this winch will generally see. I'm very happy with this Warn winch. ... show more

  • Good quailty!
Style: Steel Rope Size: 2,500 lbs.
I installed this winch myself and saved quite a bit of money. It was pretty straight forward. I looked at other winches in all price ranges and this winch is much better quality.

  • Warn Winch
Style: Synthetic Rope Size: 4,500 lbs.
I installed this, in my enclosed trailer, for loading and unloading cars. I picked it because it was one of the slowest speed winches available. It works perfectly! I have used the bargain “big box” winches and they are too fast, noisy and jerky. This one is so smooth and quiet. Worth every penny.

  • Some Fitment Issues -- Good Customer Service
Style: Steel Rope Size: 2,500 lbs.
Had multiple install issues, but Warn customer service was quite responsive. 1) Fairlead mounting plate. Purchased the specific Warn mounting hardware for my ATV. Base plate went in perfectly. Mounted fairlead to fairlead mount (included with base plate) and then attempted to mount winch and fairlead mount to base plate. Nope. The mounting bolts for the fairlead caused the mount holds to be 1/4" off. Maybe this was designed for something other than this particular winch. In any event, I had to take an hour to re-drill the fairlead mount plate. Customer service told me that Warn is moving more to single-mounting plates, but this might be an issue with the handful of ATVs that require separate fairlead plates. 2) Winch mounting bolts. Way too short. First one I torqued down stripped out the 1/4-3/8" of the mounting hole where it had contact. Fortunately, enough thread left for a longer bolt, which I then had to run to the hardware store and buy. The explanation here, again, was the double plate mounting system. For a single plate, the bolt would have been fine. So, if you're mounting with a double plate, do yourself a favor and measure through the lock washer, mounting plates, and into the winch to see how long your bolt actually *should* be, and go buy one. Make sure you get the hardened stainless bolt that matches the included ones, except for length. 3) Wiring. Too short! And too long! As another commenter observed, the winch wiring that goes from winch to contactor -- yellow and blue -- plays out a foot shy of any possible mounting location even with, or aft of, the battery compartment. (And mine is a medium size ATV, not a monster-ATV.) So, customer service was extremely helpful here. They asked the measurement I needed and offered a set of blue/yellows just a slight bit longer, shipped no charge. Bottom line: Still hoping this winch will be exceptionally good, given the trouble I've had so far. I will say Warn customer service was top-notch! The explanations were explanations, not excuses, and they did what was needed to fix the problem. Once connected up, I will adjust the rating based on how everything works. Post-install update: Warn's promised cables arrived, just the right length, and installed fine. I bought a heavy duty wire cutter and crimper set, and set of end caps, and custom cut my over-long wires to fit perfectly. Then my son helped me unwind/wind the cable correctly. Winch is extremely quiet, and everything worked correctly. ... show more

  • Fit my 2024 Kawasaki Mule Pro FXT
Style: Steel Rope Size: 4,500 lbs.
Awesome fitment. The battery to relay cables were long enough to reach battery and under floor all the way to the "hood", where I placed my relay.

  • Totally worth it
Style: Steel Rope Size: 3,500 lbs.
The media could not be loaded. Make sure this winch is securely mounted. If there are any loose or questionable bolts on your ATV mounting replace them, it will require secured fasteners. Winch is larger than I expected for this 4 x 4 ATV but is required for successful and safe wood lot management duties. I recommend multiple snatch blocks to reduce stresses on both winch and ATV when dislodging widow makers. Winch is extremely powerful do not underestimate it’s ability. For trouble free operation before using the winch at it’s full capacity manually pull winch cable out until the last row of cable is visible on spool. Attach winch hook to tree or tow vehicle ball. Electrically operate winch allowing winch to pull ATV towards anchor point as you guide cable appropriately back on to its spool. This process will eliminate ay gaps or spacing that will cause cable lockup’s on itself. Quad came with a Badland model which split open like an egg on its third use. I’m extremely impressed and pleased with the functionality of this Warn 3500 winch and so will you. Warn should include stickers… we like stickers. ... show more
