yea your right on that one zoom. too much power can damage alot of stuff. not to mention draw down that battery really fast even if the motor is running.when i had my hpx i had to add an extra deep cycle battery and i mounted a toyota alternator to the engine to run the stuff i needed. i left the regular charging system on the hpx to charge the stock batteries and the alternator was for the deep cycle battery.
I think Peanut is right the 4500 is the perfect size. Before i sold my polaris ranger it was equiped with the Viper Max 4500 with a snatchblock. Didn't need it much, but when it was called on it never failed. Never needed the snatchblock.
I know the rtv's are considerably heavier, but not to the point you would need anything larger, especially with a snatchblock.

Decided not to mount on tubing, designing a mounting plate now, will cut / drill and weld in the next couple of days. None of the mounting holes line up right now. I think I have came up with a workable plan. ( no welding on the Kubota ) it will all bolt in. Once installed about half of it will be outside the front guard. Also the one I purchased has a synthetic cable rated at 7000 lbs.
Great, Thanks Peanut. I cut and drilled the plate and angle iron. Everything fits good. Now a little welding and paint , I can bolt the whole thing in. If I ever figure out how to post pics I'll post details how I mounted. It's going to set tight inside the bush guard.
When I try to post pics ,it ask for a URL address, I have no idea ??? It will not give the option to go to my pictures.

Totally lost, it will not offer anywhere to go to my pictures, I'm on an I-Pad. Does that matter ? It only asks for URL address.

Looking for those pictures, you can email them, markjohn@up.net. I am getting ready to build my plate for a super-winch, not going to spend $100 bucks for a plate when I have a shop to make one. pictures would sure help before I start.

Just a thought. I like this detachable mount. Reviews arn't great but seems too work fine under very harsh conditions.

Mine was Under 40 on sale and besides being able to move it to RTV rear or to other vehicles its handy if you need to work on the winch or just don't need it. HF had a 2x2 hitch extender for under 10 and easily welded to a big angle i had. Handles add a nice place to carry my choke chain.
