Thought about the same thing a few times...not sure there is a spot on the front of our machines I would trust a pully mount. Not long ago, while browsing another atv forum, I saw a posting with a pully mounted on the plow frame itself, the line goes thru the pully and attaches to the plow frame, this allows the line to be pulled higher up for a more straight line pull into winch drum. Thought that might be a good option. On my machine I retained the roller fairlead even with my synthetic cable. Now my attach point is a midmount to my pivot point is further back than a front mount olow. I have not had any issues so no hurry to change things, but I do think about a better way often... I like the idea of attaching a pully to the plow frame so it would stay with the plow and not have another something to put on and take off. If I were still using a steel cable, I would definetly want to change the angle of pull, but the synthetic rope doesnt care.
