## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why is the receiver stem welded crooked?  When mounted on hitch, winch is crooked 5 degrees?!  Faulty?**
A: I am not aware of my cradle being offset by 5 degrees. Mine appears to be straight on when in the receiver. I would contact X-Bull direct for an answer on that.

**Q: What's the distance from the back of the cradle to hitch pin hole?  Thanks.**
A: 5 5/16 inches to the center of the hitch pin hole. The hitch pin hole is 5/8 inch.

**Q: Will new model apex badlands 12,000 winch w/synthetic rope fit this mount ?**
A: Not familiar with the Apex Badlands 12000 lbs winch, all I can say is the Badlands 12000 lbs winch that I have fit perfectly into the X-BULL Universal Winch Cradle's set of pre-drilled holes with no modification to the Cradle.

**Q: What kind of electrical connections required?**
A: that's dependent on the winch.  this is just the cradle for the winch.  no electrical components needed to bolt to this.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stout construction
*by J***Y on March 2, 2019*

I needed to replace my previous winch cradle because it wasn't quite long enough to clear the brush guard and lights on my new front bumper with a receiver mount. This cradle appears well made. The two things that appealed to me the most about this cradle are the length of the receiver tube from the back of the cradle to the hitch pin hole (5 5/16 inch) and the reinforced tube mount. Most of the cradles I saw photos of, the receiver tube is welded only to the back plate of the cradle. This X-Bull cradle is not only welded to the back plate but is also reinforced by another half tube welded to it and along almost full length of the underside of the bottom mounting plate. I mounted a Smittybilt X-20 10,000# winch to this cradle. It fit but the cradle is really just barely deep enough (front to back) for it and the solenoid/motor cables. The adjustable handles are a plus but not too much of a big deal to me. I still had to finagle the battery cables around both sides of the handle bracket to make the connections from the solenoid to the motor. Even though there weren't any instructions and it was missing half the washers, overall this seems to be a well made product. It also included a few very thin black washers that I have no clue what they're for but when I tried using them, they tore apart. This mount came a day earlier than expected and was well packaged. In fact, it was almost funny that it was basically a box in a box inside another box! I haven't winched anything with it yet in the field but will update later.
