Be careful with the rear winch extension and if you are stuck try to pull at an upward angle I think with the winch mounted higher it could bend the rear hitch/frame if you are really stuck and are pulling straight back. I have a XTI with a rear winch but is braced considerably and attached to the rear of the machine which is steel on the XTI. Have you considered an auto chain lubricator they are pricey but it is the BIGGEST pain in the ass lubing the chains I put one on mine and could not be happier especially and as an extra bonus the chains seem to be lasting longer probably from the constant lubrication. Keep us posted I am sure you will be in a few messes before you find out the tricks of the machine and its capabilities.
