Yamaha offers a 3,500 lb warn winch, do you guys think this is enough winch for the Wolverine? A lot of my riding buddies put 4,500 lb winches on their rigs.
I honestly think a 3500lb is good for this machine. To be honest, I have rode with a lot of machines and non of my buddies run with anything bigger then 3500lb. Now I am sure there are guys out there that will live by it but I am yet to see a side by side that has had a problem with 3500lbs. I have rode with a variety of machines as well...rangers, rhinos, commanders, mavericks. Now I am still on the fence about whether to run a standard rope or a synthetic rope...I honestly cant see the difference in using them...both lasted about the same amount of time...so I'm not sure on that one.Yamaha offers a 3,500 lb warn winch, do you guys think this is enough winch for the Wolverine?

We all learned early on not to use anything less than 4500 lbs down here in Texas. I guess it depends on where you live and the kind of riding you do.I honestly think a 3500lb is good for this machine.

In the group I ride with some have KFI and super winch. Both get put to the test and get the job done. I'm getting either one in 4500 with rope..I just ordered the kfi stealth 4500. I have a 2500 on my grizzly and I love these winches
Ya its a poor design. Loosen the front 8mm mounting bolts going through the winch plate into the front of the winch. Loosen them till they almost fall out. Then try to mount the bumper. You have to push the winch plate down at an angle to make it clear the square tubes in the frame. Once it passes you can tighten everything back up normal with no issues.Anyone else have the yamy front bumper and have trouble mounting their winch?
