Use winch for winching with plow mounted - Kubota RTV x1100c

[sampeters]

Hi folks - I have an RTV x1100c with a curtis plow - mounts via 2" receiver hitch -- has hydraulic angle & electric linear actuator lift.

I also have a winch (tucked under the brush guard). I want to able to winch stuff without disconnecting the plow. What are my options -- I was thinking of some pulley-based arm that extends up at an angle over the plow with brush guard suppor support. FYI - this photo shows the plow before I mounted CAMSO tracks Thanks,

either: cut a hole in the top of the plow blade and mount a fairlead to the plow blade (so the winch cable actually runs THROUGH the top of the blade. OR: Raise the blade high enough that the winch cable runs under the blade to operate.

A pulley on the blade will force it down, might work like a logging winch. How solid is the blade?

Mount the winch at the BACk of the RTV, problem solved.
It's also the better place for it.
