I really don't think I could use my winch with the plow in place. It would be nice to have a rear winch for the hundreds of times I have pushed snow over a bank and got so much snow packed around the plow frame and front axle that I couldn't back up and ended up having to shovel the snow out from behind the plow in order to get out.
Yes the mounting would likely be very different, since the frames are very different. I would figure out how to mount and connect your winch first. Then design the bracing system to conform to the frame and extend forward far enough for the plow to be able to angle and clear the bumper.
My plow is a Meyer 8' commercial, and I build the mounting frame to conform to the quick release sytstem on the plow.
If you think it would help, I can take some pictures in the next couple of days.
