Hang a winch on a flimsy bracket, put a hard pull on it, and something is going to bend. On a Maverick X3, the right mount is just as important as the winch.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wildboaratvparts.com\/can-am-x3-winch-mount-plate-kit\">Can-Am Maverick X3 Winch Mount Plate Kit<\/a> from SuperATV, sold at Wild Boar ATV Parts, gives your X3 a solid, dedicated home for a winch.<\/p>\n<h2>How it mounts<\/h2>\n<p>This kit replaces the stock bulkhead and front deflector on the Maverick X3. Instead of adding a bracket on top of factory parts, the plate takes their place. The kit includes a heavy gauge steel plate with a powder-coated finish, the mounting hardware and instructions.<\/p>\n<h2>Winch compatibility<\/h2>\n<p>The plate works with winches in the 3,500 to 6,000 lb range and is designed to work with SuperATV&#8217;s Black Ops winches. It has two mounting hole patterns:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>76mm x 169mm (3&#8243; x 6 5\/8&#8243;)<\/li>\n<li>76mm x 124mm (3&#8243; x 4 7\/8&#8243;)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Before buying, check your winch&#8217;s mounting bolt spacing against those numbers. If your winch uses a different pattern, it will not bolt up without modification.<\/p>\n<h2>Add a frame stiffener<\/h2>\n<p>SuperATV strongly recommends adding a Maverick X3 frame stiffener when installing a winch and winch mount. A winch pulls hard on a small area of the front of the frame. A stiffener spreads that load out so the front of the X3 stays straight after years of recovery pulls. If you are buying the mount now, plan on the stiffener as part of the same job.<\/p>\n<h2>Why X3 owners winch<\/h2>\n<p>The X3 goes fast and far, which also means it can get stuck far from help. A winch pulls you out of a mud hole, up a slick bank or off a high-center without waiting for a buddy. It is also handy for clearing a downed tree off a trail. Many riders say a winch is the one accessory they will not ride without once they have used it. Pair it with a good tree strap, a snatch block and a pair of gloves and you have a recovery kit that covers most bad days on the trail.<\/p>\n<p>Before ordering, double-check that your machine is a Can-Am Maverick X3 and that your winch fits the plate&#8217;s hole spacing and the 3,500-6,000 lb range.
