WARN works GREAT!,
March 23, 2009
By WoorHunterNH
from Southern, NH
"This winch serves as an extra set of *strong hands* when I'm pulling wood for cutting and hauling. Great Light/medium duty winch and it definitely serves me well.
Remember to use skidding tongs or a grab chain and yes, I did buy the insurance!"

good winch,
November 18, 2008
By Wheels1
from North Dakota
"The winch works well. you do have to be careful when you attach the wired remote, the first time I inserted connector into the receptical It was wrong and I thought it was broken. Also the connectors for the battery terminals are too small for standard screw on terminals and you have to install new connectors"

By Bobbybones
from Ftlauderdale. Fl
"I am head of opperations for the Cooper Cith High School Band. We bought the winch(8/07) to load our 1250 lbs band podium into our tractor/trtailer. We used it about 10 times last year 5 to load, 5 to unload. Our season runs from Sept-Nov. Used it 4 times so far this year then it shorted out. My recommendation buy the insurance."

"Designed a truss lifter using the WARN Works® 1700 DC Powered Utility Winch. The lift can reach 20 ft and is attached to John Deere 318 Garden Tractor. The remote power feed in and out is operated from the seat of the tractor. Great little winch!"

WARN 1700 DC Winch,
August 18, 2008
By Petie
from Middletown, Maryland
"This is a super small DC winch for the price. I purchased it to pull our pontoon boat out of the lake in the fall and use PVC pipe to roll it on. This winch took this job on without any problems and made a hard job very easy. Have also used to drag large trees out of the woods back to where they can be cut up for splitting and firewood.
A great little winch that has performed very well on any job I have asked it to do."

"I have used three of these winches on quads in conjunction with snow plows that I build. I appreciate the removable control lead since it doesn't clutter up the handle bar when not in use. The winch itself performs wonderfully. The operator has a great deal of fine tuning control, and the internal load brake locks down instantly."

"I purchased this winch to use with my flat bed trailer. I would have been better off to order one with more capacity, but this one works just fine when you double the power with a pulley block."

One Great winch,
July 11, 2007
By Rodger
from Coal City WV
"Installed on my dump trailer to load large items. The winch worked as well as any I have ever used. It also worked very well loading my 14 ft. boat. It saves
your back when lifting. The cable rewinds very well because of the spring clamp.
Also the freespool works great. I can pull it off with one hand and no strain.
I have used a lot of winches in the coal fields and Warn tops the list in my book.
A Great Buy.

WARN WINCH,

By CATMAN959
from APPLETON, WISCONSIN
"THIS IS A GREAT PORTABLE WINCH WHICH I USE IN MY SMALL ENGINE SHOP. I HAVE MANY TRAILERS I USE TO PICK-UP DISABLED RIDING MOWERS AND THIS WINCH PULLS THEM RIGHT UP ON THE TRIALER WITH LITTLE EFFORT. THE REMOTE CONTROL ALSO MAKES IT A ONE MAN JOB. I WOULD RECOMEND THIS PRODUCT TO ANY SMALL ENGINE REPAIR SHOP OR ANYONE TRYING PULL DISABLE EQUIPMENT ONTO A TRAILER OR PICK-UP TO BUY THIS WINCH."
