UTV and ATV Trail Recovery

Perfect for UTVs, ATVs, and side-by-sides that get stuck in mud, sand, or on steep inclines. The 3500 lb. capacity and compact size make it an ideal fit for powersport vehicle recovery.

Boat Launch and Retrieval

Use it to load and unload boats, jet skis, or other watercraft from trailers, especially on slippery boat ramps or uneven ground. The durable steel cable provides strong, reliable pulling for marine applications.

Light-Duty Property and Job Tasks

Tow or reposition equipment like lawn tractors, ATVs, or small utility trailers around a property or job site. The permanent magnet motor’s efficiency is great for frequent, shorter pulls.

Roadside Emergency Vehicle Recovery

Helps pull a stuck vehicle out of a ditch, snowbank, or soft shoulder on the roadside. The automatic brake holds the load, allowing for a safe, controlled recovery before the vehicle is fully free.

Farm and Homestead Hauling

Ideal for securing or repositioning heavy loads like logs, fencing materials, or rocks on a homestead or farm property, providing capable pulling power without the need for heavy machinery.

Free-Spool for Fast Line-Out

Engage the free-spooling clutch and pull out the steel cable by hand to the anchor point. This disengages the gear system, allowing you to quickly extend the line without operating the motor, saving time and battery power.

Control with Wired Remote or Switch

Practical Winch Questions & Answers

Have questions about using the Badland ZXR 3500 lb. winch for your powersport recovery? We answer common concerns about installation, capacity, durability, and everyday operation to help you make an informed decision.
This winch is designed for powersport vehicles like UTVs, ATVs, and boats within its 3500 lb. line pull capacity. The permanent magnet motor and gear system are optimized for this range, providing efficient and reliable performance for typical recovery scenarios without over-taxing your vehicle’s electrical system.
Installation involves mounting the winch and fairlead to a compatible surface, connecting the power leads to your vehicle’s battery, and routing the control wires. The included mounting plate and hardware simplify the process. Basic mechanical knowledge and tools are recommended for a secure and safe setup.
Yes. The winch has an IP67 rating, meaning it is dustproof and protected against the effects of immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. This makes it suitable for all-weather use and wet conditions, though it’s always good practice to rinse off excessive mud or debris after heavy use.
The included cable is 50 feet long and made from high-strength, corrosion-resistant aircraft-grade steel with a 3/16-inch thickness. It provides ample length for most recovery pulls and is built for durability and resistance to the elements.
The automatic load-holding brake engages when you stop pulling, holding the load securely without needing to lock the winch manually. This provides an important safety feature, preventing the vehicle from rolling back unintentionally during a recovery or while holding a load.
Two control methods are included: a dash-mounted rocker switch for convenient, permanent installation, and a separate ergonomic wired remote. The wired remote gives you the flexibility to stand clear of the vehicle and maintain a direct line of sight to the load while operating the winch.
