Badlands winch is hard to beat for the price that is for sure

Putting some braces on the back of the winch plate to the front top bar would also help strengthen the winch mount

Welding outside with mig sometimes sucks if it's breezy because the Gas isn't helping the weld much when the wind blowing the gas away but nice work

That's a good winch. I saw a guy pull out a small bulldozer stuck in a muddy road rut he was cutting.

You could have added a 2"x 8" spacer board between the mount plate and trailer deck and longer bolts .

True. But that would've weakened the mount. I also didn't want it on the deck once I really thought about it.

@cecilb3216 I pulled a 67 Ford pick up truck up on my trailer like it was a go-kart. The winch mount I got from harbor freight wasn't weak at all. Thing had to weigh 25lbs or more. Very thick steel. I'd buy again.
