Winch for 2003 Sportsman 700

I am new to the forum. I am wanting to put a 2500 lb or larger winch on my Sportsman. I seen several winches from Warn, Superwinch, and Polaris.

Does anyone have recommendations? I don't mind spending money but I want something that is reliable, does not have a bunch of plastic parts, and will last.

Also, if you know of good suppliers where I can purchase the winch and mounting plate, I would appreciate that as well.

Thanks!
Tom

I heard viper winches are good and that's what I will be going with once mine kicks the bucket.

I think any of them you mention will be fine, I may be incorrect but was thinking Warn makes the Polaris winches

Just stay away from the el cheapo's you see, have one on my 425 Magnum and it no longer works. Not sure if it is in the switch or winch it self but in all honesty never really had that much power

I had dealer install 2500 Polaris on my new ride
