I need to buy a new winch for my Teryx, id like to get the 4,000#. I see that the Viper winches at Hunterworks are like half the price as the Warn. Are the Vipers that much less quality or are you just buyng the Warn name?

I have had no troubles with my viper, glad I went with it n kept some $$ in my pocket

I got the 4500 234 with mount works great. To much money on the warn I thank.

Viper 4500 here

same here .It seems to work fine

I actaully found some old posts of the Viper winch and everybody had positive things to say about it. I feel pretty comfortable buying one now and ill save a ton of money.

I hear alot of good things about the viper as well. My question is how heavy of a winch is necessary for the teryx?

The bigger the better, but i think 3500# at the minimum. Most guys are running 4000 to 4500.

I had a 3000# on my arctic cat 500 atv and i overheated that a couple of times.

My recommendation is the 4500lb, it has a mechanical brake and the ones smaller do not, they have dynamic braking.

Also, we have been selling the viper since Nov and not one issue!!
