Abstract
An all terrain vehicle with a plurality of independent winches is provided. One winch may be mounted on the front of the all terrain vehicle. Another winch may be mounted at the rear of the all terrain vehicle. The winches are controlled independently of each other. For example, the front winch can be driven in a forward direction or a reverse direction independently of the rear winch, and the rear winch can be driven in a forward direction or a reverse direction independently of the front winch. Additionally, the front winch and the rear winch may be engaged to operate simultaneously.
