Winch mount discussion

me too!I'm thinking about hydraulic one at the front.There is one by Warn designed for Unimog.I wonder if that one will fit on SBU's(MBU's) as it does on U500.I'm looking for at least 15000lb one.

We made that bracket and the winch is the Warn 15k hydraulic. Thats why I put it up for you. I'll get some better pictures of the bracket and post them up. We moved it up a bit and added a skid plate to protect the hyd lines.

These are not the best photos, but may help a bit:

Here is a simple mount on the front of one of my 406's. It is a quick disconnect type. Remove 4 bolts and it lifts right off the front bumper to allow putting on the front blade or loader. The winch is a Warn 10k hydraulic (ex-military).

Note the sliding hook. Handiest device ever if you do any logging.
