You can mount one, and they even make brackets for them. I just bought this sled and they want another $300+ for a bumper... instead I bought some 3/4 inch conduit and plan to make one up, which may include a detachable winch mount. First I need to improve my welding ability though.5 years ago my son got his two-up Artic Cat 4 stroke stuck on power line, he went to turn around and buried it, took two hrs to shovel it out, been 4 hr without cell phone. I told him the first think I'd do with a sled that size is put a winch on it, he said it cant be done, when comes to putting a winch on something dont tell me it cant be done........
