Question:

I have a Warn 2500 winch on front mount as permanent. I am considering Superwinch LT 3000 ATV as a portable rear mount. Already have solenoid under seat for Warn. Can I attach directly to current solenoid or must I basically add whole new system? what would the wiring diagram be and what quick disconnects? suggested rear mount I have 2receiver? also how to hook up remote with this set up? I never installed the existing winch so I am entirely unfamiliar with hook up. Any ideas and suggestions would assist in decision of purchase and extras needed. i may have forgot other questions so feel free to comment. Thanks. Coming back to your company since I have purchased items from you before.

It may be possible to mount a secondary rear winch on to your 2005 Kawasaki Brute Force, however, you will have to manufacture and install some specialized equipment to use the Superwinch LT 3000 ATV winch.

I recommend the ComeUp Cub UTV Winch, # CU123933. This winch will include a 2 inch receiver hitch winch mount, wiring, and quick disconnect to wire to your Kawasaki. The Superwinch model does not include many of these parts and you would have to manufacture a mount yourself.

The ComeUp Cub's remote will connect to the winch so no need for an external bracket to mount on the ATV to plug in your remote.

The ComeUp has the solenoid already attached to the winch. All you would need to do is connect the positive and negative wire on the included quick disconnect and you will be ready to go.

Wiring to the current solenoid for powering another winch should not be an issue as long as you only run one winch at a time. Using them both will be too much of a draw on the system and may cause a damage to components or even a fire.
