I use a separate 12-V battery. I use the flooded batt's for cart power.

I was just gonna say I got the HF 3k# winch and it works like a champ. Way more heavy duty than the 2k/2.5k. But I get a ton of use out of mine so yours should be fine.
Here's a couple pics showing my outback outfitters brushguard with 2" hitch receiver. So I made my hitch removable so I can move it to the front or rear of my CC.

I sat there looking at the 3000 and 2500 for about 30 minutes. I couldn't make up my mind. Went with the 2500 for $40 the 3000 was over $100.

Cart looks awesome.

Thanks. The hook up is a tough one for a sparky. An extra battery adds extra weight along with the winch and brushguard. Being your cart is lifted and I think you have a back seat, I'm assuming you are gonna want/need more power down the line. Domino effect my friend! Welcome to the world of golf carts! ! Lol

The HF 2000 and 2500 pull knob for engage/disengage really stinks. Very hard to operate after only a short time out of the box. Solenoid quit working in one direction also after 4 months. I would not recommend those cheap winches.

I agree with the "don't buy a cheap winch" statement. I have a quality Warne 2500 on the front of my hunting cart and it will get me out of any situation. I have a $30 Chinese built winch on the back that (in theory) is there for just hauling deer out of "thorny" places. but I have used it to help yank my cart around in a tight spot, and frankly….I thought it was going to crap out any moment.

If you think you are going to need your winch, buy a Warne. Or….stay stuck on top of a mountain. Your choice.

Warn isn't the only quality winch in town. I went with a 2500 lb Mile Marker with synthetic rope for my big ezgo. Very happy, so much better then a cheap winch.

I don't think maverick will have to worry about too many mountains in Sunny FLA. Probably more of cosmetic accessory, but there if he needs it.

My parents lived in Savannah Ga. for a few years….in another lifetime. (Like 30 years ago) I did visit that area, and I would hope it's a beautiful today as it was then. But it's near the ocean and as I recall, it's pretty flat. But, when it rains areas do get muddy. I would hope that Maverick doesn't get in a situation where mud is a serious factor as that's when a winch will show it's true colors. Ask me how I know this.

True! Sand can be a hitch too. Looking at mavs tires, I don't know if he plans on off roading. Maybe he'll chime in and tell us his furure plans.
