I have 32’s on my talon. And have buried it plenty of times on northern Ontario trails Warn axon 4500 winch has worked fine The free spool engagement is based of a locking hub. So it work much better that a standard free spool engagement

@sideshowguys Ай бұрын

Northern Ontario trails? How for north do you ride? I do like the clean look of the Warn Axon winch. I didn’t know about the free spool tho. Sounds like a good option.

Happy to hook up to you and pull you out 😂 Makes for excellent content!

There is always that Polaris guy who is always waiting for the Honda to get stuck so he can finally say he towed someone out for once in his life. Cause we all know the Polaris is alway the brand getting winch out or towed back. Lol

i’m in the same spot as you i just bought a 16 rzr 900s and the winch it came with is a little crusty looking . I’m only a trail rider no deep mud or water . I’m thinking of getting a cheap princess auto or amazon winch to be honest. I spent $700 on a emp winch bumper and $548 on a 3500lb superatv winch from Royal distributing that i never got use because i sold the rzr . I’m doing things differently this time In my opinion i’ve seen how you ride from Don and your videos and you seem to love going in the deep mud . i would get a winch either superAtv or warn and atleast a 4500lb winch and get the synthetic rope vs the cable. You could also just wait and see how often you may need it and decide from there

@jackhart3340 Ай бұрын

Yeah, I've had to pull several machines out. Badlands 5500 synthetic cable.

@sideshowguys Ай бұрын

I think I need to order a winch for all the other Machine I am going to need to winch out. Makes for good footage.

personally i haven't used mine yet. on a side note is there a story with all the helmets that are on a shelf going around your shop

@sideshowguys Ай бұрын

You must drive a Honda too if you haven’t used your winch yet…lol. Everyone one of the helmets around my garage could tell a story. Thats why they are up there. Memories attached to each one. Good and bad. lol.

Pro Max Blackmax 4500lbs synthetic rope winch from Royal Distributing. $370.

Royal is one of my favourite Sxs stores. Might just have to wait for a no tax sale. No one likes paying taxes. Lol. Are you running a Pro Max Blackmax?

@benmayhew373 Ай бұрын

No my ATV has the factory winch but I did put synthetic rope on it and a heavier hook. My sxs's had factory winches also. I've heard good things about the Pro Max winch though and it seems like a good price.

The KFI assault must come with a mounting plate to mount it to the stock bumper. I have seen a few KFI winches on a few other brands of machine. Let me know how the install goes.

I don’t know if you Harbor Freight stores in Canada but The Can Am Crew KZfaq channel swears by them. They make a Badlands Apex 5500lb winch for around $250 US Dollars.

@sideshowguys Ай бұрын

Harbour freight is a USA company only. None in Canada. We have princess auto up here. Kinda the same idea. I have seen the badlands stuff at harbour freight. It does look good. Maybe I need to cross the border for a winch.

@markflaugh2293 Ай бұрын

@@sideshowguys They get abused and seem to hold up and are cheaper for sure. Hopefully no paper work to get the winch across the border. 😁

I've never understood that kind of banter over winching 🤷‍♂️...it should go as follows !! If you didn't go through the hole the machine is stuck in...winch them out and commend them for trying 👍 If you went through the hole they are stuck in...winch them and CHIRP hard 😂😅😂 🤟🤙

Well, Don got a taste of the mud life. Raises 2 questions.. 1 - will he go back in, 2- odds of needing a winch out..? A winch may make good content!!!

@sideshowguys Ай бұрын

Yes Don got a taste of the Mud. But he is saying I didn’t winch him out. He winches himself out cause I don’t have a winch. So maybe you are right. I do need a winch to get video proof of winching a Yamaha out of the mud. Lol

A winch is one of those things that’s “better to have and not need, then need and not have” I mean your not driving a tank

@sideshowguys Ай бұрын

Well the Honda Talon I think is pretty close to a tank. Lol. But you might be on to something. Better to have and not need, then need a winch to tow a buddy out. Lol
