So as many of you might know from a past post… I am working on purchasing a new machine. I want to add a Polaris 3500lb winch, plow, brush guard, bumpers, etc. The dealer has quoted me a price to add on. I want to use this as a bargaining chip….so I am prepared to have him sell me that parts, but I will install them. The only one I am worried about is the winch. Not really "worried" actually, but the last winch I installed was on my ’09 Honda Rancher….and it took me about 5 or 6 !@#$%^ hours! After the mounting bracket for the winch, it was like retrofit all the way…including soldering a splice into a keyed hot lead.

Anyways, I have been told that the new setup is really easy. I guess that I wanted to verify this with some of you guys before I started. I’m not afraid of it, but if it’s going to be complicated, I might just have the dealer do it (I might have them do it anyways, but like I said, I want to use the labor cost as a bargaining chip when I try to beat them up on the price.

Tell me what you know.

Please and thank you in advance! This seems to be a great QUALITY forum for this kind of stuff!

Cheers!
