https://bowduploaders.com/Just got my first UTV, a Honda Pioneer 1000. Looks like this setup would make quick work of loading a deer. Anyone here used one? Opinions?

I had a rear winch on a Dodge power wagon and was surprised how handy that came in...Not sure if it would be worth the bucks for my Rhino tho..I do carry a small come a long for stuff like that..

I use a Warn drill powered winch, 500lb capacity attached with a strap to my roll bar on my Pioneer. Makes it easy for an old man to drag deer and hogs into the tilt bed and was quite affordable. About $150.00 as I recall.

I've also considered just getting an inexpensive 2000lb winch from Amazon and mounting it in the bed myself. Anyone ever done that?

Amazon offers a 750lb for $189.00. WARN 101570 Handheld Portable Drill Winch with 40 Foot Steel Wire Rope: 750 lb Pulling Capacity Enter that in your search bar on Amazon. I don’t see a share link on my iPad from the Amazon page. I used a 12” tie down strap with eyelets wrapped around my roll bar to hang it when I need it.

We have the cheap harbor freight unit, mounted on 3 Gators, 3 four wheelers, 4 pickup trucks. Gator was the first and it still runs fine after 15 years or so. Hate to think how many deer it has loaded. Of course a doe down here is 100 lb and big buck is 200. You boys up north, with bigger deer might have an issue. Only problem we have had is the cable occasionally getting outside the guides, which can lead to some serious pulling and some new words to get back in place. Actually caused by operator error so not the winches fault. For old, fat guys like us, it is the way to go.
Some mornings, it just does not feel worth it to chew through the straps!~

I mounted a boat crank winch on the bed of my ranger.
Works good enough.
Loaded deer and pigs no problem.

I have a Simpson capstan winch that I use for loading elk in our trucks, mule and even onto a sled deck. Knowing how to rig to reduce drag is important.
On my last rig I used a 2" receiver and mounted it in the rear by the axle and on the roll cage. I like the advantage of being up on the highest point. When it's up high, simply tilt the bed and even a whole elk will slide in the bed of a ranger with a lift.
I've pulled elk up the ramp on my sled deck with the Simpson. That capstan is my favorite tool for the woods.....ever.
I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

With the placement of one or two pulleys one can easily utilize a front mounted winch . My Honda Pioneer 500 only requires one pulley hung from the roll bar.

I have the 2" receiver mount, paid $30 for it, and then I have a 2500lb winch.
I've actually been looking for a cheap 3500lb , seen a few on amazon for around $120, one even has a wireless remote.

What I did 20 years ago was make a removable mount on front and back with 12 V plug at both places keep the winch mounted on the front but if needed can be removed and mounted on the back.......
