Kubota Winch install

Deano · February 17, 2013

My Dad has a Kubota and recently bought a winch. We have the wiring figured out, but he wants to be able to use it at either end (winch is mounted to a hitch receiver). Is there any type of inline plug that we can use instead of having to basically rewire it any time he needs to use it? It would be a carry it to one end, plug it in and use it, unplug it and put back in the toolbox deal.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have seen quick connects for winches in automotive mail order catalogs, but since my memory is shot, I forget whether it was Summit Racing or JEGS, or....? Another possibility might be 4x4 off-road catalogs. The good news is that almost all of these catalogs are free if you ask in their web sites. Good luck!

Deano, I just did a quickie looksee at Quadratec's website and found a Warn https://www.quadratec.com/products/72006_37.htmquick connect, but it's pricey and I think you can do better at other places

Look in the marine/boating section and look for an electric trolling motor plug. They are heavy duty and will carry a lot of amps, also moisture resistant. They do come in various load ratings but the heavier ones would easily handle the current from a winch. The one I have on my boat is rated for 40 amps, much more than any atv/utv battery can put out.
