Looking at winches and there is so many different sizes! What size winch is needed to handle a blade for pushing snow? I have a ranger 800 xp.

2 or 3 thousand would be fine.......

I would put a 3000 on it. Warn is the way to go. They are sealed really well and will last!

If you use a warn your good with a 2500 lb. If a generic no less than a 4000 lb unless you plan on buying a snatch block. Experienced with a rhino and a 60" blade for a few years. Now run a generic 4500 lb.

Before I get any static for my opinion it is due to the ability to lift the snow into a pile too, I did have problems breaking cables and simply holding the blade up with a lighter venom winch.

Decided to go with the warn xt 40

I had a Viper 4500# on my RZr. I know it may have been a little over kill, but I knew it would do the job if I had to.
