UTV Winches

How to Choose the Right UTV Winch

Sometimes, choosing the right UTV products is more than just what looks the best. There are several factors that come into play when selecting the best winch for your side by side: 

• Pulling Capacity: Before buying a side by side winch, you need to determine your UTV’s weight and that of any potential loads you may need to pull. Choose a winch with a pulling capacity that exceeds your vehicle's weight to handle unexpected situations.

• Line Type and Length: Synthetic rope or steel cable? The choice depends on your preference and specific needs. Synthetic rope is lightweight and easier to handle, while steel cable offers durability under harsh conditions. Ensure the length is sufficient for your typical off-road terrain.

• Power Source: Most UTV winches are powered by the vehicle's battery. Verify that your battery can handle the additional load and consider upgrading if necessary for optimal performance.

• Mounting Compatibility: Check if the winch is compatible with your UTV model and consider additional mounting accessories if required for proper installation.

• Weather Resistance: Choose a winch that is weather-resistant and built to withstand exposure to water, mud, and debris.

Things To Know About a Side by Side Winch

You might have questions about whether buying a winch for your UTV is worth it or what you should look for in a quality winch. 

Check out some of the most common questions about UTV winches. 

What is a UTV winch? 

A UTV winch is a mechanical device mounted to a UTV that utilizes a spooled wire or synthetic rope to pull heavy loads. It is commonly used to recover vehicles stuck in mud, snow, or other obstacles encountered during off-road adventures.

Why do I need a winch for my side by side? 

A UTV winch provides a reliable means of self-recovery when your vehicle becomes stuck. It enhances your off-road capabilities by allowing you to navigate challenging terrain with confidence.

What pulling capacity do I need for my UTV? 

The pulling capacity should exceed the weight of your UTV. As a general guideline, choose a winch with a capacity of at least 1.5 times your vehicle's weight to handle unexpected loads or difficult recovery situations.

Synthetic rope or steel cable — which is better for a UTV winch? 

Both synthetic rope and steel cable have their advantages. Synthetic rope is lightweight, easier to handle, and safer if it breaks under tension. Steel cable, on the other hand, is more durable and resistant to abrasion. 

The choice depends on your preferences and specific off-road conditions.

How do I install a UTV winch? 

Installation procedures may vary depending on the UTV model and winch type. However, they typically involve mounting the winch to the UTV frame, connecting the power leads to the battery, and securing the winch line properly. 

For detailed installation guidelines, refer to the manufacturer's instructions or consider professional installation.
