After reading about tractor damage sustained through excessive strain to the top link mount by implements that pull on the mount instead of pushing against it I installed the heavy duty bracket on my L3000DT.
Thanks to Hayden for providing part numbers for these parts, the dealer said he didn't know where look. The parts ran about $70.00 for everything. The installation took only about an hour.
My brother works as a mech. at the local New Holland dealership, they just started selling a 3PH winch. I asked him if they recommended the HD brackets when they sold a winch for the compact tractors. Both he and another mech. looked at each other and said we never thought of that but that is a good point.
I feel better now using my rear blade and 3PH winch.
