winch/bumper compatible with plow frame?
Just wondering if there are any options to mount a winch on a truck with the plow frame? Interested in a full time winch mount...my back is not interested in a front receiver to attach my winch to ;-)
Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure I know the answer...but just thought I'd ask you guys.
My truck is a 2018 F350 XL...with plow frame.
THANKS
-George

Yeah, that's kind of what I thought. Too bad.
Thanks for the reply :-)

Ha...my back just sent a searing bolt of pain to my brain to remind me that I don't want to be lifting a winch. Hahaha

The plow mount winch posts above have me wondering - presumably you can’t winch very heavy loads, because a plow mount’s strength comes from the plow load pushing against the mount/truck frame.
If the winch is mounted to the plow frame and the winch is pulling on the plow frame, it’s only strength is pretty much limited to the plow mount’s bolts - nothing else.

I agree, but can it handle the pulling stress vs the pushing stress it was designed for. When I back drag my plow (Western mvp with wings), I figure there’s maybe 1,200 lbs of plow and snow weight it’s pulling on.
Just wondering out loud I guess....
