Overview
A compact 2500 lb electric winch, this kit spools dyneema synthetic rope instead of steel cable and ships with both a wired and wireless remote plus a mounting plate sized for standard ATV and UTV bolt patterns.
Synthetic rope over steel cable is the headline change here, and reviewers back up the maker's pitch on it: it is lighter to handle and does not carry steel cable's risk of snapback if it fails under tension. The listed compatibility with specific ATV and UTV lines, from Outlander to Foreman and Rancher, matters more than the pull rating alone since a winch that will not bolt to your existing mount is no winch at all. That said, more than one buyer found the fairlead's edges were not smoothed at the factory, an issue worth checking before the rope takes damage from repeated pulls.
- 2500 lb rated electric winch
- Dyneema synthetic rope, 3/16 in x 34 ft
- Wired and wireless remote included
- 153:1 planetary gear ratio
Who it's for
ATV, UTV and light trailer owners needing a compact electric winch for tasks like dragging cut timber, loading equipment onto ramps or light recovery work. Not sized for heavier vehicle recovery beyond its 2500 lb rating.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Buyers using this winch for light jobs like clearing tree trunks, running a sawmill drive and loading equipment onto ramps report it pulling reliably, and the wireless remote and synthetic rope get specific praise over past cable winches. The clearest complaint is quality control on the fairlead: multiple mentions of sharp, unsmoothed edges that cut into the rope, with one buyer reporting Amazon's replacement offer would not fix the underlying part. Smaller notes included rope arriving loosely wound and bolts that felt lighter duty than expected.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Dyneema rope is lighter, avoids steel snapback risk
- Wireless remote works reliably per multiple reviewers
- Listed compatible with several ATV and UTV lines
- Straightforward install reported by more than one buyer
- Fairlead edges arrived unsmoothed, cutting into the rope
- Rope can arrive wound loosely and need repacking
- Included bolts felt undersized to one reviewer
Performance notes
The planetary gear system runs a 153:1 ratio, giving roughly 9 feet per minute of pull under full load and up to 25 feet per minute unloaded. Reviewers used it for tasks like dragging tree trunks behind a loader and driving a sawmill mechanism, both suggesting steady pull under sustained light load, while the wireless remote was called reliable for hands-free operation from a distance.
