Quick Take
These four ATV/UTV side-by-side options span $69.95 to $249.95, but they are not interchangeable. The two Moose Utility belts are drive-belt choices, the 2001 Artic Cat 250 is a used vehicle option, and the KFI 4,500-lb winch is a condition-risk winch purchase. Your first move is deciding whether you are buying a replacement belt, a winch to rebuild or reuse, or a used ATV base to work from.

Product Notes
2001 Artic Cat 250 2x4 ATV Utility Vehicle
The 2001 Artic Cat 250 2x4 ATV Utility Vehicle is the only used vehicle-style entry here, and at a listed price below the winch, it is a candidate if you are starting a 250 project or need a parts machine. It is black, made in the United States, and listed as Used - Part on Vehicle. It carries a front shock absorber part number and rubber material, so think of this more as a machine to work on than a ready-to-ride ATV. The limitation is its used condition: it is not new, and the used-part status means you should expect to pull components or repair before it is useful.
KFI U45W-92 4500LB WINCH for UTV, SIDE-BY-SIDE, UTILITY VEHICLE & 4-WHEELER
The KFI U45W-92 is a 4,500-lb winch made in China, and it is the highest-priced option in this set at $249.95. It is framed as a winch for UTV, side-by-side, utility vehicle, and 4-wheeler, but its condition is For parts or not working, with a bent connector and broken plastic. That makes it a candidate for someone who wants a 4,500-lb working load limit and is prepared to repair or salvage the unit, not someone expecting an out-of-box winch. The limitation is condition: the described state means the winch may not function, and the price is higher than the rest of this group.
Moose Utility MSE High Perf7 Belt (1142-0241)
The Moose Utility MSE High Perf7 belt (1142-0241) is the lowest-priced entry at $69.95 and one of two Moose Utility belt options in this group. It uses p-aramid cord reinforcement and fiber-loaded neoprene, and the fitment information points to Polaris. If you need a new ATV/UTV drive belt and your machine takes part 1142-0241, this gives you a Moose Utility part without stepping up to the higher-priced Ext Torque 2 belt. The limitation is specificity: it is a belt, not a generic part, so the part number has to line up with your side-by-side or 4-wheeler before you commit.
Moose Utility MSE Ext Torque 2 Belt (1142-0420)
The Moose Utility MSE Ext Torque 2 belt (1142-0420) is the other Moose Utility belt option in this roundup. It carries a torque-oriented name and part number 1142-0420, with the same p-aramid and fiber-loaded neoprene construction described for its stablemate. If you want the higher-priced Ext Torque 2 option and your vehicle needs this part number, it is the more expensive Moose Utility belt here. The main limitation is the premium: it is priced above the other Moose belt, so it makes sense only when part 1142-0420 is the belt your ATV or UTV actually requires.
Final Recommendation by Use Case
- If you want a belt at the lowest listed price, choose the Moose Utility MSE High Perf7 1142-0241.
- If you want the torque-focused Moose Utility belt, choose the Moose Utility MSE Ext Torque 2 1142-0420.
- If you need a 4,500-lb winch and are willing to repair or salvage a damaged unit, choose the KFI U45W-92 4500LB Winch.
- If you want a used Artic Cat 250 project or parts vehicle, choose the 2001 Artic Cat 250 2x4 ATV Utility Vehicle.
