Winches

[Overland Commander]

Im planning to mount a winch to a front receiver hitch platform. Anyone have experience with a winch mounted that way? What are your thoughts?

From my understanding, a,9500 lb winch is about as big as you can mount with over the counter mounts. Part of that is also because of the shear strength of the mounting pin. Most reciever hitch systems are not built for high power winch applucations. triangulation and box construction are what make the frame ends able to take the torque applied.
