Winch: front or back?

[PyroDoctor]

Taking a survey of where to put my winch. I have good locations on the GTR 250 to weld a plate to attach it on either end. After a quick perusal of the boards, it looks like most have concerns that if you mount it on the front, it will get banged up :banghead:, yet most mount it to the front anyways :lol:. It seems to me that the back would be less likely to get damaged driving through the woods. :biggthumpup:

On most setups I've seen, regular atvs included, it's in the front. If you've got enough room behind the front tubing/brush guard down low on the floor board, that's where I'd put one on mine.

Front seems like the logical choice...now...if you got the money...you could always put on two.

I vote front.
