2008 3010 trans 4x4 diesel winch

[fredbar]

Just bought a 2008 3010 trans 4x4 diesel. Looking to add a winch (thinking about the Warn rt40. Where can I get the winch mount for this winch/utv combination? Is this a good combination to go with? Am a newby to utv's and winches. Any suggestions and help will be apprecicated.

Kawasaki sells the correct adaptor plate to fit the most of the little Warn winches on a Trans Diesel for around $70. I would visit the dealer and take a good look at the mounting and dimensions of the winch to be sure it will clear with the plate they sell.

There are a number of winches available that work very well on the Mule, but unless you have the skills and tools to fabricate the mount, I would stick with what Kawasaki sells. Most Kawasaki dealers carry the Superwinch and the Warn - both are good winches.

I would suspect you can get a discount if you try the site sponsor.

You can get just as good of winches from many other sources, some are priced under $100, but building or adapting a mount will be your challenge.

Hi fredbar

I put an rt40 on my 2008 trans diesel it works great but the adaptor plate from kawasaki is designed for a warn rt35. the bolt pattern and offset is different then an rt40. I bought the plate but ended up redrilling it and modifing how it mounts.
so if you want an easer install stick with the rt35.
if you still want the rt40 I suggest making your own plate.
you will also need the kawasaki cable roller guides as the warn guides will not fit the grill guard. I really like my diesel and have used the winch alot more then i thought i would mainly pulling out other vehicles that were stuck or that fell over( 79 ford f250 that didnt make it around the corner on all 4)

Good luck and enjoy
