A couple of things to bear in mind.

 

The chipper's weight; my Jo Beau comes in at 145kg; I couldn't haul the CS100 at 195kg.

 

How is the ladder rack secured to the vehicle? Mine's an aftermarket one (Nissan stopped fitting their excellent ladder racks at factory to their shame) so is feebly bolted horizontally into the bodywork: to mount a winch on it the rack would need somehow to bear downwards on the gunwales of the buck else you'll rip the ladder rack off.

 

yep yule need to brace/strengthen the ladder rack. Thas why i over engineered my ladder rack u can see in the pics above.
