If you burnt out a 2500lb winch I would be getting a bigger one. I don’t know what brand Polaris uses but the quality winches are better than the harbor freight/northern tool ones. Is they’re enough better to justify the price is arguable, but when you need a winch is usually the worst time for it to fail so a couple hundred bucks is cheap insurance in my book!

i burnt it out when i accidently  busted the switch on handle bars and it got stuck on, reeling line in so it sucked the hook and got jammed up before i knew or could figure out was going on it was to late so it wasnt actually being used pulling something, so i went took it apart and got it unstuck reinstalled and put new switch on it . the winch was really slow barley moving and as soon as i put a load  on it the winch just made a clicking noise got hot and was drawing hard on the battery.

I'm running same thing you are hoping my winch doesn't go . Only issue I have had is the switch will not work below 32 degrees.  It's crazy at 35 it works 32 it doesn't. Been trying to figure it out the past 5 years . Works all spring, summer and fall as long as its above 32 out

s buff check for moisture some where sounds like something it is icing up, new switch is 100.00 polaris switch ridculous. I have really no issues that the winch shat the bed it was a freak thing to get stuck on,  cant believe the sythetic rope didnt just snap
