I agree for the money you can’t beat them! I just picked up a 5k myself for a RZR 1000s install- I personally like the cable, I’ve never broke a cable and I’ve broke a lot of rope ones
I have never broke a cable either but I have fucked it up and stab the shit out of myself and sliced my hand open with a rusty cable so I’ll pick rope any day also it’s safer
I sure hope that it is on a four wheeler’s otherwise it is way too small but yes it will still work but you have the potential of corroding the cheaper made Power wires and I had to change mine out to some heavier duty cables but other than that it is good
Got a question maybe you can answer it recently got the same winch for a 2020 kawasaki teryx I need to rev the engine or the sxs will shut off kills the power like that?
I don’t know anything about the KRX electrical system or how big the battery is but you’re probably gonna want to get a dual battery kit or something like that the KRX may not have that big of a stater with a stock RZR never had any problems running it Where are you located
Thanks for the video. I've been doing a lot of research and I narrowed it down to 2 budget winches and this helped finalize the decision! Thanks again. What are rock lights?
I have this winch and it struggles with lower after using it for 1 minute. It’s like the battery is dead but it’s not! Any idea what I could be doing wrong?
Im glad it was a good review on winch since I have one. Not mounted yet waiting on custom bumper. Oh yeah I don't instagram or tikkity tikkity tok tok lol
@@redneckengineering7739 I sure do buddy lol and dont like spending too much time on social media so I TH-cam and fb is all because I'd never get anything done 😂🤣
Most likely you have corroded and melted the wires going to the motor tool bag the terminal cover and see what it looks like I had to upgrade all of the power and ground wires after a while

@@redneckengineering7739 yes I agree it does tear the hands up good!
Yeah but I did use it for a while so either way is fine really
"Only probably 200 people are going to watch this" 2k later 😂
Great video man!
Thanks didnt expect it to do well
12K now
Yeah I didn’t expect that
Do you have a video of you taking the winch apart to grease it? If not, could you make one please?
No, because it’s the easiest thing you can do just take it apart you will figure it out
What size power cable did you upgrade too?
same size
I have had mine on about 6 months now. Do you think I should check it for water? I did buy the warranty for 2 years
In about a year Or two take it back and say it’s broke either way
What cable did you upgrade to? got the link ?!?
I have used so many different ones i break them offten
@@redneckengineering7739 what about the electrical cable ?
Just heavy duty cable that I found on Amazon
I do water riding so do you know if they will mess up or work fully submerged
It’s a 2500lb

The new ones come with a dash switch? The new 5k badlands ?
Yes they do!

Basically lights that go in your wheel well but thanks for watching
I have this winch and it struggles with lower after using it for 1 minute. It’s like the battery is dead but it’s not! Any idea what I could be doing wrong?
Yeah either you have burnt the motor up or you have hurt or melted the wires that are going to the winch motor the factory wiring is junk
I just bought and installed a badlands 5000 from harbor freight two days ago. Does anyone knows how it performs if wet or in mud?
I have had mine underwater a bunch of times it will be fine but if you watch some of my other videos at detail it in More depth
RTV sealant: "I'd rather use black, but the red shit is all I have ..." ROTFLMAO! :)
I don’t know why that’s so funny but OK LOL
@@redneckengineering7739 Not sure why - it just cracked me up. Sounded like something I'd say.
Lol sounds like something id say to o
Mud must be an excellent lubricant if the HF winch survived.
Yeah somehow lol
You were off about 18k views by your guesstimation 😄
Very shocked
This isn't the more expensive Badlands ZXR 5000 pound winch, right? The ZXRs look to be better built.
No but I have done videos on that as well
Im glad it was a good review on winch since I have one. Not mounted yet waiting on custom bumper. Oh yeah I don't instagram or tikkity tikkity tok tok lol
Oh come on tictok Yes fun I’m sure you’re like me and have a short attention span LOL
@@redneckengineering7739 I sure do buddy lol and dont like spending too much time on social media so I TH-cam and fb is all because I'd never get anything done 😂🤣
Tictok is 15 to 60 seconds so are usually watch it lol
My badlands 5000lb winch just clicks i was using it and it just stopped moving and clicks now
