I searched around and ordered a KFI winch plate. Now that it’s here in my hands, I don’t know if I’m satisfied with it.

Looks as though it just bolts to the flimsy factory tube bumper on the front of my machine. Is this enough to hold 3,000+ pounds of pulling force? I’d think the bumper would kink and crumble.

Ideally, I’d like a mount that ties in to several points of the actual frame. Any one have recommendations? Or is the "bumper mount" style really that strong?

Thanks in advance…
