A nice package at a nice price.

Pros: It does everything that I bought it for: getting an atv out of the mud.

Cons: 1)The wires leading from the solenoid to the winch are at least a foot too short as other reviewers have stated. Expect to pay for connectors, ends, and at least another foot of 8 gauge wire. 2)The snatch block that is included will require wrenches to take apart and thread. Not a great thing when you are stuck in the mud, so while I was at the hardware store picking up the above parts, I picked up a new bolt, washer and wingnut. 3)The winch is a bit loud but I wasn't expecting it to be quiet.

All in all not a bad investment for the money, just don't be surprised if you have to take a trip to the hardware store. I had a hard time finding connectors and ends for 8 gauge wire and they were expensive (3$ a piece +-).

This winch kit is a great value. My only complaint would be that the two wires running from the regulator to the winch motor could be a foot or so longer. I mounted the regulator in the storage box under the seat and had to splice a foot or more of #8 wire to make my connections on the motor. Other than that everything seems of very good quality and it should give me years of trouble free operation.

I had one of these on my 08 Kawi Brute Force 750i. I say had because I went into some deep water and smoked the relays for the switch. I ended up with a fancy non working attachment and removed it. I will say that while it was installed it worked well and took a good bit of abuse. Pulled trees down with it, cleared trails with it, pulled a CanAm DS650, buried seat deep in sand out with nothing more than the winch's own power.

It's a good unit. Mount the black box high or seal it in something cause when it gets full of water and you hit that button you'll hear a light POP and that's it...game over. I tried to find new relays to just repair it but came up empty and scrapped it. The leads are short as others have said. A good stereo shop will sell you bulk wire for a DIY install. There is no good place to mount the box on a stock Kawi Brute with no storage boxes. It doesn't fit under the seat.

I bought this for myself at Christmas. Fit in a 2007 Suzuki Vinson 500 4x4 just fine and I built my own heavy duty mount plate. Found out the ATV was prewired for a winch in front and back but used the supplied kit. As others have said the main wires from the solenoid to the winch in front are too short so I used the #8 from the factory wires to make up the difference. The only major problem is the small black solenoid wire needs to go to a ground and not the fuse as the instructions say. Whoever wrote those has never used them. After purchased I learned the a permanent magnet such as superwinch is suspect to burnout unlike a series magnet used in the Warn winches. I'm not a winch expert but for the $87 it cost me I'll let it cool if it gets too hot.

I bought this for my 2006 Suzuki Eiger 400 ATV.
I had to split the installation into two sessions because of time.
My first session I installed the winch and that went pretty easy.
The second session took a bit longer because I wanted to make sure that the wiring piece of the install would go smoothly.
It did, but here's a hint, lay it all out FIRST, then install. That way when it doesn't quite fit one way, you'll have a plan B to fall back on.

Anyway I bought this so I could operate my plow, and works like a charm. Good price too.

You get what you pay for. Only buy this winch if you don't have to depend on it. It is cheap. The winch acts and sounds like it is under a load when it is not. They are not tested for function at the factory. Mine came with the wiring on the solenoid wired incorrectly. had to cut four feed wires and reverse to get it to operate. Notified superwinch but got no response.

I bought this winch on March 4, 2011 and it worked when it was initially installed. A month later on a ATV trip it wouldn't work. I received a replacement from Amazon in May, and that one worked a couple of months and now it is not working again. My mechanic checked it out and the control box is bad. This is the first superwinch I have ever bought and will be the last. Will see how Superwinch handles the warranty.

Update: Superwinch was very helpful is going to send out a control box right away. Had good experience with their support.

I wasn't sure as to what I was getting exactly after I had ordered this. I was a little worried with how cheap it was compared to other brands, but if you don't try it you won't know right?

Pros:

*comes with everything needed to wire up
*well worded instruction with pictures to backup

Cons:

*wish the main lead cables were about a foot longer

This is a good winch but the gorilla winches on Ebay are far superior in quality and performance. I believe the company has changed their name but I still think it will pull up under gorilla winches. I have boought several winches for atvs and jeeps and you can't beat the gorillas. They are made almost the same as Warn but costs much less. Therefore you get the quality of a Warn but since it doesn't have "Warn" on it, you pay much less.

Good installation instructions, works great pulling stuck 2wd four wheeler out of mud, also used a block and pulled out some yuopon bushes without any overheating or breakage, definetly need to follow instructions to preserve cable with grease.
