Fairly east to install on my 2023 Honda Pioneer 500.
Bought the KFI winch mounting plate. The winch is well made but...
When using the included bolts to mount the winch, the included winch fairlead plate and the KFI mount, the included bolts are to short. So you need to track down the grade 8 metric bolts 1/4 inch longer. When doing the electrical hook up, the wiring from the battery to the winch solenoid is about 3 feet to short when hooking up on the Pioneer 500. More searching and buying of STUFF that should be included. Other than that a pretty easy install.

Perfect. No problems. Have not really had to work it hard, but, they t times in have used it, it worked flawlessly.

by: Jeff 01/05/2022 One Year Later

The winch is great. Does everything I've asked of it. My one learning point was that you can actually melt a synthetic rope on the spindle if not careful when retrieving a snow plow over and over. Bought a snow plow specific strap and it does the trick. Good news is that the winch works as if the operator knew what he was doing.

Because of battery location on my kubota 1140, I had to improvise on installation of the battery cables. All worked out well. Was able to route the cable through the frame so no chance of anything snagging it.
Bolts seemed too short in mounting the winch so I opted to buy bolts a bit longer and higher strength grade. I’m a firm believer in overkill. Also opted to use a momentary switch that fits in the knockout on the dash for a cleaner look. Manufacturered a small mounting plate for the remote plug to install by the winch for convenience when rolling up the cable.
After all was done, winch works great and I was able to utilize pretty much everything that came with the kit. Great price, good product and fast shipping! A+++.

Winch is still working great with no problems. Used it to pull myself across a wash out. Winch pulls strong!

by: Reno Hinckley 10/13/2023

This winch appears to be well contructed as it is supposedly made in the USA. It came neatly packaged with all the terminals color-coded to make installation fool-proof. I ran in to trouble when I used the fairlead mounting plate to mark the mounting holes to drill in the trailer mounting plate only to discover that the holes in the fairlead mounting plate do not line up with the threaded blind holes in the base of the winch. This resulted in considerable work in elongating the holes in both the fairlead plate and the trailer mounting plate (which is 1/2" steel plate) with a rat-tail file in order to get it mounted. Also, the electrical connection instructions are wrong - it states to connect the blue lead from the remote switches to the black lead on the conductor - this is completely wrong and confusing. The right way is to connect the black lead on the remote switch to the black lead on the conductor and the blue lead to the blue wire on the connector. In addition, the terminal rings on the battery cables are 2mm too small requiring me to drill out the holes in order to connect them. Other issues are that while I was told that this was suitable for winching a car onto an enclosed car trailer, it winches much more slowly than the X3 Superwinch it replaced and stopped 8" short of the e-track stop points for some reason - maybe the motor overheated. I let it cool down a bit and it drew the car in fully. I'm inclined to return this and get a bigger winch.

Hey Reno, there is a lot to say about this winch. If you are using your mounting plate from the Superwinch X3 it will require some filing because the mounting pattern is different. However, the fairlead should have lined up with the holes of the winch. That does sound like a quality control issue on Super winch's part. I can reach out to their quality control to find out what happened there so thank you for letting us know. The Superwinch Terra has the same motor as the old X3 but the weight capacity of this winch is actually more compared to the X3. I can see why the wiring diagram in the instructions is misleading but the blue to blue and black to black wiring that you mentioned is correct. The Superwinch Terra motor does have a 2 minute run time so it may be possible the motor is overheating and needs to cool down before it can pull your vehicle all the way into the trailer. It also has a 4,500 static load so if you are trying to winch a larger SUV or truck you may need more weight capacity. As far as the speed, it should be pulling the vehicle at a 5-1/2 foot per minute speed. Please let me know if it's not doing that and we can continue troubleshooting. Some of the common reasons for a slower moving winch are: the battery is weak or a weak ground connection. I know this seems like common sense but sometimes we miss these things! If you are looking to go with something with more weight capacity and more horse power, I recommend the one of the S Series Superwinch like part # SW1475201 this one will give you a 7500 lb line pull capacity and a 3.6 hp motor. Although you are looking at a higher price point.

Everything about the winch seems well made. The extensive use of cast iron gives confidence to the quality of construction. It has all the useful features I need, especially the remote switch. The wires supplied were soft and pliable.

I used a few 4x4s across the front of the trailer bed to raise up the winch so that the cable can reach 12 feet to the rear. The 4x4s are bolted from the top and down through the bed frame with a single threaded rod, and also vertically to the railing, at the ends. The railing is further supported by chains to the front hitch. The chain can be loosened easily and dropped down so that I can climb over the hitch easily.

I modified a 1/4” piece of steel boiler plate to mount to the front rail and top 4x4, PICTURE 1. The steel boiler plate is secured at all 4 corners. The winch mount plate, PICTURE 2, is sandwiched between the steel boiler plate and the winch and held to the winch by 4 bolts, shown in PICTURE 3. This becomes one single assembly, held to the trailer by 4 nuts, and easily removed when not in use. PICTURE 4 shows the mounting studs for the winch assembly. In PICTURE 5, the releasable and turnbuckle chains help to take the stress off the front rail of the trailer. A common use for the winch would be for small tractors up to 1500 pounds.

My van has existing #2 wire coming from the battery for a winch inside the van. It was a matter of tapping into that for the relay and installing a 60amp receptacle for a plug. The winch is plugged into the receptacle, something I’ve done with my existing van winch without any trouble.

I will always store the winch inside my van, but allowing it to be unplugged and stored in the garage is another plus.

I can’t say enough about etrailer and the staff. They are top notch people to deal with. This review is on the Superwinch Terra 4500 wire rope, Superwinch custom fit mounting kit and Bulldog dash mount rocker switch. Installation on my 2017 Polaris Ranger XP1000 EPS, 3 passenger, single cab. I will try to attach pictures of front mounting plate, winch, wire routing and etc. The Superwinch mounting plate and winch assembly fit was an easy install. Decided to route winch wiring, wiring from winch remote cable and Bulldog dash mounted rocker switch down and back through the tunnel of the Ranger where there was existing wiring and coolant tubes and secured all wiring. I mounted the winch solenoid in the center bay beneath the center passenger seat where the ECM and fuse box and relay center is located. That put the solenoid in a dry location and made a good install. The circuit breakers w/cover are neat the battery as pictures show. Winch remote connector on left side of upper dash and Bulldog rocker switch to the right of existing dash switches. Received the etrailer order on Wednesday June 25th, started install on Friday the 27th and finished on Saturday the 28th after deciding on how I wanted to route all wiring. The Superwinch works like a charm, rocker switch and remote function great. Installation is clean and I hope the pictures show what a neat installation this was. Dealing with etrailer is always a good experience and I will be back. Now I’ll try to include pictures.

This is a review for the superwinch Terra 45. I had a couple issues when installing this winch but Westin Automotive (parent company) was outstanding in their customer service. I didn't have to wait long and they were extremely helpful sending me a replacement part overnight shipment free. I called more than once and they were great every time! Love the winch too!

I purchased the 2,500 pound terra recovery series winch, and custom fit ATV winch mounting kit on june 19th. I received both products on June 21st. The customer service during the order placement and and shipping was outstanding. They called me just to verify that my order had been placed, was being pulled, and would ship that day. The instructions were easy to follow, and with the supplied hardware everything mounted exactly like it should have. The wiring instructions were a little harder to follow. The mounting procedure for the rocker switch, solenoid, and circuit breaker could have been a little more detailed. Especially when it came to which hardware to use to install those pieces. Also the red and black 6 GA wires were not long enough to reach my battery from the position I had to mount the solenoid. That is the reason I only gave 4 stars. Overall though, it was a great experience, I will be recommending this site to the people I go riding with. Thanks etrailer!

My Superwinch Terra 2500 has served me well, I have used it on my ATV with a snow blade for wintertime plowing roads at my cabin and out on the ice. It has worked nicely for pulling in my roll in dock at the lake. i have also used it to winch trees when cutting wood. It has fullfilled every task that I have used it for at the lake.

Brand new but so far, so good. Mounted to a receiver hitch so it can be used and removed from prying eyes when not being used. Simple to install. Used to pull "rolling stock" up onto trailer in a straight line pull. Rolling stock only. No problem.

I have an 04 Twin Peaks I bought used. Its in very nice shape. I use it a lot around the farm. Recently I used the winch. A warn 2500 and it worked fine for a short bit. I had to turn the quad around for a better angle. Now the winch only works to let out cable. I switch the wires on the winch and now it reals in but not out. What do I check now

Patrick B.

12/11/2013

It sounds like the switch itself is bad. Perhaps one of the contacts inside broke. You know the winch is still good because it will power in and out. Since you can flip the wiring around to switch winch operation, it suggests that the switch can no longer send current in both directions. I would contact Warn about getting a replacement switch. There may be other parts that could cause this, namely relays or other electrical components, but Warn should be able to help you out.

Don D.

12/12/2013

Thanks so much for the reply. Since posting question I went through and cleaned all contacts. I also took the switch apart and yes it was corroded. I cleaned it up and when all was said and done it worked again. Thanks again this is my first quad and what a work horse it is. At 53 years old and taking care of a 200 acre farm I should have bought one many years ago. Thanks again have a great holiday. Merry Christmas.

What Mounting Plate Fits the Terra 35SR # SW1135230 on My 2021 Polaris Sportsman 570?
I have a solution for you. I reached out to Superwinch, and they confirmed that they stopped producing custom-fit winch plates for ATVs. Unfortunately, they do not carry a specific fit for your 2021 Polaris Sportsman 570 to fit the Superwinch Terra Series ATV Winch - Synthetic Rope # SW1135230 (or any other ATV hitch). With that information, there are a couple options. You can purchase and customize a compatible winch plate that fits other ATVs like the Superwinch Custom-Fit ATV Winch...

How Do I Troubleshoot No Power on My Superwinch Terra 35 Winch?
From the sounds of your issue, you have either the Terra 35 # SW1135230 or the # SW1135220. The first thing that I recommend is to try both the rocker switch and the handlebar switch to help rule out a switch issue. Also, it is important to rule out any frays on the wiring as well. If you need help testing any of the wires for power, I recommend using the circuit tester # PTW2993. As an absolute last resort (given that everything is wired correctly), it could be an issue with the solenoid....

Using Electric Winch to Load Ice Fishing Shack onto Trailer
Either the Superwinch Terra # SW1135230 winch with its 3500 lb capacity or the Superwinch # 1120210 LT2000 winch (I am not clear about which one you have) should be able to handle your ice shack with no problem if you use a pulley block like # BDW20004. Using a pulley block can nearly double the winch capacity, which will be necessary because you will be pulling a dead weight up an incline.
