🏍️ Enhance Your Polaris Sportsman ATV with Extreme Max 5600.3160 Winch Mount! Review

I bought the same bracket for my 2015 Polaris Sportsman 570 and SAME winch (Superwinch LT3000ATV) last year. Everything fit perfectly. I bought it again THIS year for my 2015 Polaris Sportsman 570 and it had alignment issues. The bracket fits perfectly on the frame of the 570, but the winch does NOT fit the bracket. It was overwhelming, the bracket just wasn't wide enough to fully insert the winch to align the bolts. We had to take the winch to the grinder and grind a good 1/4 inch to get it to

The mount itself is well assembled but the fit is poor. As you can see from the photos I had to sand the bracket to fit. I was about to return it but upon further investigation I found that it wasn't the mount at all, the Polaris frame itself was poorly designed! The frame was shifted a good 1/4 inch from left to right, preventing the screw holes from aligning properly. The Extreme Max manufacturing tolerance may be too tight and Polaris should consider tightening the manufacturing tolerance…

I really appreciated having a bracket at the beginning but I had a 5000lb winch and decided to use this bracket to use for this. With a little finesse, ie after bending it in the right place, I fitted it under a 5,000 lb Harbor Freight winch. I had a welder and I set to work getting it and the winch mount together and fitting, paying attention to where the holes should be and stuff, I got it working. It was a little big to get in there, but it fit. I also had to play around with the wiring a…

I purchased this based on another review saying it would fit her 2016 Polaris 570 Sportsman. This bracket will only work if the winch is installed upside down (base of winch up). It looks like it will need to be installed this way for all model years as well, as the installation instructions in the illustrations state that it needs to be installed with the winch upside down. It is also shown in the Revain picture with the winch mount base bolts above (reversed). My Superwinch's owner's manual…

Bought for my 17 Polaris Sportsman 570 to install a Badlands (Hbr Frt) 3500# winch. My installation experience has been mixed, so here are my observations. Seems solid and reasonably stiff, although the bracket is thinner than the mounting plate that came with the winch. I didn't use a winch mounting plate; there is no place for it (am I missing something?). There are only four screw holes on the winch for ground mounting, the other two on the lower front can be used for other applications…
