Winch and mount for Sportsman 500

Hi, new to this site. I just purchased my first atv. Polaris 500 H.O. 2005. I'm new to atvs also. I assumed that I would have no problem mounting a winch on the front (plan to snowplow) but I can't seem to find a winch mount for my specific machine. Warn Winch homesite advised that they do not make a mount specific for the 2005 Sportsman 500. I have looked at websites for Gorilla and Venom also but they do not have a mount specific for my year/model. There are plenty of mounts for earlier or later years. Anyone know of any reason why the 2005 is different? (Have not heard back from Polaris and local dealer no help) Any feedback on which winch would be good for what I need it for. (snowplowing) Thanks.

$200.00. Never failed me.
