They are difficult to come by on these machines unless you use a short tree saver strap and get around a tube on the frame or a lower control arm in a pinch.
Whatever you do never ever ever wrap around two tubes of anything and try to pull.
The forces of pulling can collapse them together at worst or bend them at best.

I've had pretty good success using my front receiver mount with a shackle installed. Providers a good point to come back from a snatch block and "double up" your winch power.

Yes sir. Wasn't bad stuck and could've gotten out with a single line, but to be honest I wanted to use my snatch block and all to get out

I have to get a different 5/8 hitch pin or fabricate one from a bolt to use mine. All of mine are on a 45 and contact the winch mount before going through the receiver mount.

Is the 2” receiver home made?
Ive just looked on Amazon and did not see one with bolting brackets on sides
It is a KFI front 2” receiver. Will work if you have a winch mount in which your winch is mounted underneath.

Had the same problem. I cut about an inch or so off one of mine, and that made it fit. Then I just drilled a new hole for the pin and it was good to go.

I ordered a couple weldable tubing clamps, took a piece of steel, angled the ends to fit the clamps, then welded them up and then welded a clevis tab on. Took a couple hours and works great.
