X-BULLWinch Cradle Universal Mount Plate for Recovery Winches，Suitable winches for 13500 lbs, 13000lbs, 10000lbs, 9500lbs,etc

Worked well

This is a great mount! We put a Stegodon 13k winch in it, and it's performed flawlesly.The handles on the side make is much easier to pick up, and walk off with it. I am thankful they are there!When I bought this, I also bought a weldable hitch receiver and I drilled pin holes in the other end, essentially making an adaptor so that we could slide it on this mount, and insert a shackle hitch into the other end. Now we can chain or tie it off, pretty much anywhere, or take the adaptor off and mount it in a reciever on a truck.About the most, we've winched so far is a 10k forklift, up a 40 degree incline onto an industrial carrier (tandem axle rollback). It's worked flawlessly. Great mount!

Xbull winch mount for receiver hitch seems ok but you can tell it’s made in China!!

Purchased it for the X-Bull 13.5 and it’s a little tight for the power cables. I worry about the long term use (rubbing), the winch fits into the mount but one of the wires is very tight against the left side. I could probably avoid this if I removed the handles. Don’t let my find deter you from this purchase because it’s solid and does it’s job well, so well that I just pulled my friend out of some mud and he was driving a semi with a flatbed attached. Bad ass if you ask me !!Ashley SummersSummerville SC

Makes the job so much easier when hooking the winch up and to carrying a 10,000 pound winch

I bought this mount and an XBULL 13,500lb winch at the same time. While the receiver mount was pretty square like others complained about, the mounting holes on mine were not in line. This caused the winch holes to not line up. I had to drill the holes out to 1/2” and that got me there. The hardware to mount the winch is also not quite long enough because I struggled to get the bolts caught with both the flat and locking washers. In the end, I got it all together. You will need two people because you will be M-F’ing the makers of this thing for a while until you’re done. Pay attention to the routing of the wire. That took two attempts to get it right. Lastly, the directions are non-existent.

This is a universal mount that fits the winch I purchased without using the side brackets. It did not come with any instructions however anyone with mechanical aptitude can quickly figure out the assembly.

This is one well made unit. It did add some additional weight to the Badlands winch, it is definitely worth it. The pre-drilled bolt holes on the plate matched perfectly up to the 12000 Badlands winch and the double rollers that cause the cable to retrack evenly back onto the spool also had pre-drilled holes that matched, as well as, the bolts and nuts to go with it. All in all this is an excellent choice to secure the winch in place for dragging something. Be advised that your 2" receiver hitch needs to be capable of handling 6 tons or you may not have a good day.
