Which one should I buy?

They fit different machines. The winch is for Sportsman 850 and XP 1000 ATVs. The half doors are for RANGER XP 1000, CREW and PRO XD side-by-sides. Match the product to your vehicle.

Will the winch fit my Sportsman?

It fits 2012-2024 Sportsman 850 and 2015-2024 Sportsman XP 1000 models. It replaces part 2882241. Check your model year before ordering.

Do the half doors include hardware?

Yes. The set of two front doors ships with all fitting hardware and instructions. They use a multi-point mounting system and rear hinges.

Is the winch worth it over a cheaper brand?

It is an OEM Polaris part with 3,500 lb capacity and a 1.6 hp motor, so it matches factory fitment. Compare its price against aftermarket 3,500 lb winches before deciding.

Can I use the half doors on a Sportsman ATV?

No. They are built for RANGER XP 1000, CREW and PRO XD side-by-sides. The winch is the ATV product in this pair.

Both are OEM Polaris parts. Winch life depends on load and cable care; door life depends on trail abuse. Neither listing states a warranty period.
