The best fun aircraft with excelent xwind limits, 30 kts, is the Bulldog.
Just as said above they are not limits but recomendations, but I suggest you treat them as limits.
I once landed the Dog and ATC told me there was 34kts xwind component, I hardly noticed it.
The Maltesse Governent wanted Dogs because of their excelent xwind charachterisics.
