Winches And Recovery Gear For The Can-Am Defender
Winches, straps, shackles, and traction gear for the Can-Am Defender. Get unstuck in mud, sand, and creek crossings without a second machine.
Every ranch has a spot that gets you: a tank dam after rain, a sandy creek crossing, a black clay bottom that looks solid until it is not.
A Can-Am Defender with a winch, a rated strap, proper shackles, and traction boards gets itself out alone. Without them you are walking back for the tractor.
Match winch capacity to machine weight, use synthetic line on a working machine, and carry a tree saver so you are not cutting into fence posts and live oaks.

Can-Am Defender questions
+What size winch does a Can-Am Defender need?
Plan on roughly 1.5x the loaded weight of the machine. For most full-size Defender models that means a 4,500 lb winch as a minimum and 6,000 lb if you pull implements or other vehicles.
+Synthetic rope or steel cable?
Synthetic is lighter, safer under failure, and easier to handle. Steel resists abrasion better. Ranch machines usually run synthetic with a protective sleeve.
+What should be in a UTV recovery kit?
A kinetic or recovery strap, two rated soft or bow shackles, a tree saver, gloves, a snatch block, and traction boards for sand.
+Can I recover a stuck truck with a UTV winch?
Not directly. Use the UTV winch anchored to a fixed point for the UTV only; pulling a heavier vehicle risks the mount and the line.
