I am about to install a winch on my 400 HO. One thing I have been wondering about is whether to use what appears to be a potential hook point for a return from a snatch block that is located on the lower part of the silver front end piece.
The piece I am referring to almost looks like trim, but it also appears pretty solidly mounted to the main frame of the quad. The short horizontal bar looks to have been designed for at least tie down straps for hauling, but I wonder about using them for two point winching operation. Has anyone had experience with using the bar I am referring to?
The local dealer thought it was Ok to use it but I didn't detect a firm sense of confidence in the reply. Thanks.
