Terra SW or Runva?

[Kalani938]

I know there are a lot of winch threads on here, but I had a couple of my own questions so here we go. LOL! I have been thinking about getting a winch for christmas, but I'm torn on which one to get? I've got my eye on either the Terra SW or the Runva. I've heard great things about both brands. All I will use my winch for is if I get stuck or if I need to move something out of the way so I was going to ask if a 2500 or a 3500 would be more ideal? Another thing that I've been reading is that synthetic is a lot better than cable, but obviously synthetic is a decent amount more. I saw the mount for the Terra, but didn't see the one for the Runva? Which mounting bracket would I need if I went with the Runva? Thanks in advance guys!

Is this a good one to consider?

dont know... always had polaris winches......
and never had a syn. rope... but for what i do.... cable is WAY better.....

id go for 2500LB way more than enough......and cheaper......... id be more worried about battery drain on the 3500 when pulling LONG distances.....

not sure about the mounting bracket either but heard good reviews about the terra SW....... so id go for it......
or pay alot more but go popo.....

Does anyone know what mount would be needed for the Runva 2500 for a 2010 Sportsman 500? It says it comes with a mounting plate, but surely it can't be that easy. LoL
