2005 sportsman plow question

Hey everyone, I just bought a 60 inch Denali plow from motoalliance this morning for my 500 sportsman. As I got to looking at the front end of the atv, I noticed that the winch is mounted pretty deep. My question is will my winch cable rub against the front of my brush guard when I go up and down? If it will…does anyone have any suggestion on a remedy? I think I can fabricate a bracket with a roller instead of buying one.

Problem with 2012 sportsman 550

I’ve been having problems with my 2012 550 EFI starting. I put a new battery in the other day, but when I went to start it yesterday the battery was dead. I’m thinking something is drawing the battery down after about 8 hours to the point where it won’t start. After I put the charger on for 5 to 10 min she fires right up. Anyone ever have the same happen. Need help as to where to look and what steps to take.
Thanks

tires and fenders 2013 sportsman 850

Two questions: What is a good mud tire replacement size for a 2013 Sportsman 850 that will not bottom out? Right now the stock tires are FRONT 26X8X14 REAR 26X10X14. The next question is has anyone ever trimmed the plastic curved part inside the front fender that seems to touch the tire when you hit a large bump? I have tightened the shocks to the max and the machine at times will strike this plastic piece on a good bump.
