Winch & Front Plow Mount Install on Yamaha Kodiak 450

My wife's 2019 Kodiak 450 EPS SE did not come with a winch so I decided to install a Warn VRX 25-S on her quad. She has also been really looking forward to being able to plow snow with it so I picked up a Warn 50" plow blade along with the front plow mount and install everything at the same time. It was a bit of a pain but I was able to work it out. I did not find any good videos on the installation process and there were no instructions in the box so I figured I would add a DIY video to help others that might be looking at doing the same job. Hope this helps and thanks for watching.

Great overview. Looking to add this before snow starts to come down. How does the 450 do with the plow?

Absolutely fine. I think the biggest dump of snow we had last year was around 18" in 24 hours. It was harder to shovel my driveway so I could get the Kodiak out. I didn't plow it because I didn't want the blade to mess up my cement driveway. But got it on the street and it handled it like a champ. I was worried that I would need a 700 but it didn't have a problem at all.
