That's true, it's built for pulling. For the same reasons the "tucker enthusiasts" as a whole as far as I can tell generally frown on frame mounting a winch on these units.
If you are stuck with one of these things then you are probably very bad off and pulling on the frame with a winch could be a big mistake.

Boy Dave, buying one of these to ensure that your family can get out and get needed supplies during inclement weather is sure being a dedicated family man and I salute you. What sacrifice! I am sure a new snowmobile would have been preferable or any of a number of things, but to set aside your personal gain for the good of the family is just a fine example of...of....man I can't even write anymore. I tried.
What you do today is important, you are trading a day in the rest of your life for it.

It would be a shame to let it just fall & rot back there. But it's so hard to get to, was so hard to get to. ROR.

You can't winch it. It will break. Dammit T! Pay attention!

Gee,I'm just a warm blooded southerner and I like that machine although I have never seen one before.How did you happen on that thing,Dave?
I bought a Model 94 in .32 WIN special manufactured in 1955.

Congrats on the winny 94 Stan!
I've been drooling over these types of machines ever since I first saw a tracked rig out on Lake of the woods in the winter time back in 94.
When you have a rig like this you can take a comfortable insulated heated fishing house and fish wherever you want on the lake, not just linited to "where you can get to"
You can pull 2 big fish houses behind this thing & go anywhere you want, no snow too deep.
There are many different kinds of large track rigs like this. They are true "snow cats"
This tucker is cool because you can drive it with a steering wheel and repairs are affordable, common auto repair sorts of parts for the most part.
But the main reason I settled on this one was because of the price. It's just a fantastic deal.
I've been looking at them for years, just couldn't pass this one up.

Now Pam, you know he bought the Tucker with you in mind. Wanted to make sure you had safe transport on and off LOW.

Picked up a couple of inches of snow here today, along with sleet and rain. My grass is finally covered to the point I can not see it.

Picked up a Weatherby S/S today in 06. I'm going to have Redneck rebarrel it to .280. He doesn't know that yet . I'll let him know when I go pick up my .308 Win I'm getting from him too.
