looking to mount an ice auger holder to the front of my Xmr.  Any suggestions or pictures?

If it was me I'd make a tee out of 2x2 square metal tubing and plug it into front receiver hitch and then mount the kolpin clamps on it to carry the auger.  Attached is a picture of the kolpin clamps, they are pretty stout.  If you don't have a front reciever you could make something to bolt onto the bumper.  I think I have the same bumper as the XMR so if you decide to add the front receiver hitch you'll likely have to go to harbor freight and get a hitch extension and then cut and redrill it to extend the factory reciever to be flush with the front of your bumper, at least I did on mine.  But then you can add anything you want to the front fairly easy and remove it when you don't need it.

that sounds like a great idea.  I never thought to add the front receiver.  Then the possibilities are pretty much endless for custom attachments and really easy to swap in and out.

thanks for the reply.
