I recently bought this, along with a John Deere Gator receiver hitch. I used a Superwinch Terra 45 to mount on this, all bolt holes lined up perfect, the only thing I had to do was get some 1 1/2" long bolts, as the 1' ones that come with the kit(Superwinch mounting kit) are not long enough to mount this particular winch and it's "fairlead plate" that came with the winch, bolts are 8mm by the way. Other than that, mounted up nicely, very strongly built piece of equipment. Wanted something heavy duty, because it is mounted on the front of my '99 6x4 Gator and if I want to drive through small trees or brush, it needs to be able to take a punishing. Thanks KFI.......
