The Gator XUV 625i, 825i and 855D are the machines a lot of farms and landowners rely on every single day. This kit pairs the Viper MA11990 Gator mount plate with a Viper V3 winch, so you can add pulling power without piecing parts together. Both bolt patterns fit the plate, so pick the 4,500 lb standard spool or step up to the 6,000 lb wide spool.
Why It Works on a Gator XUV
- MA11990 plate for every Gator XUV 615, 625i, 825i and 855D, per Moto Alliance.
- Takes standard (3 x 4-7/8 in.) and wide (3 x 6.67 in.) bolt patterns.
- Black industrial powder coat and included mounting hardware and instructions.
- The 6,000 lb wide spool pairs well with the heavier diesel 855D.
- Wireless remote lets one person run the winch while watching the load.
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.
Gator Work Notes
- Gators often tow a trailer or carry a sprayer. Unhook or unload before a heavy pull when you can.
- On the diesel 855D, idle the engine during the pull so the charging system keeps up.
- Use a tree saver strap around posts and trees to protect the synthetic rope.
- Wash manure and mud off the drum after barn work; it holds moisture against the rope.

Installation Notes
