The Pioneer 1000 is a do-everything machine, and a winch makes it better at all of it. This kit pairs the Viper MA11818 Pioneer 1000 mount plate with your choice of Viper V3 winch, either the 4,500 lb standard spool or the 6,000 lb wide spool. The plate takes both bolt patterns.
Why It Works on a Pioneer 1000
- MA11818 plate built for 2016-2021 Pioneer 1000 models, all trims.
- Takes standard and wide 4-bolt patterns, so either V3 bolts on.
- The 6,000 lb wide spool is a good match for a five-seat Pioneer 1000-5 with a loaded bed.
- Synthetic rope is safer than steel cable if it ever breaks under load.
- Black powder-coated steel with all hardware.
4,500 or 6,000 lb?
- V3 4,500 standard spool: lighter and shorter, with 40 ft of rope. Plenty for self-recovery and lifting a Denali plow on most machines.
- V3 6,000 wide spool: adds $80, a wider drum and 60 ft of rope. A good pick for heavier machines, crew cabs with a loaded bed, or anyone who winches other people out.
Using the Winch Around the Farm
- A tree strap and a snatch block turn the Pioneer into a light-duty skidder for small logs and brush.
- When lifting a Denali plow, keep a few wraps of rope on the drum and stop before the blade hits the top.
- Rinse road salt off the winch and mount after winter use.
