Anyone have a good setup for a rear mounted winch? I don't have a truck yet but would like a bobbed truck with pto winch up front, and some sort of winch on the back. I don't know about getting an electric winch, but was wondering if anyone knew of a dedicated engine driven winch? I am invisioning something like the front winch but powered by a dedicated Honda gasoline engine like used on lawnmowers or powerwashers. Does anyone know of a winch made to be paired to a motor like this?
I would love to have a class 5 reciever mounted on the rear of the deuce, with the crazy winch setup I am thinking of attached to it unless i need to tow something.
While I am sure it would be impractical to try and connect an actual deuce winch to a little motor, I am hoping someone knows of a commercial solution that is made for this. With my photo editing skills I have come up with a picture of what I invision.
hmm, doesn't a pipeline truck have a rear mounted winch?

i want to mount the hydralic winch from a bridge truck, in the frame at the back of a 5 ton and run the hydralics off the pto as was done on the 5 ton bridge truck

I agree: running hydraulics opens up all kinds of possibilities for powering winches and other equipment. If I owned one truck and was going to keep it awhile, that is how I'd modify it.
Why not consider an electric winch? The power cables can be permanently mounted with connectors at the rear of the frame. This way you can create the same solution as the gas powered winch being considered, but with less expense and no gas motor care and feeding.
Warn and Milemarker have big 24v winches that could be used for self recovery, using at least one snatch block.
If you have a front mounted winch, flip the PTO to power the Hydraulic pump. Then adapt the front winch to take a hydraulic motor and mount your rear winch. You'll be able to power both with hydraulics....

Find a telpohne truck with the rear winch set up off the t-case, it is a slick set up, you can also run a sort set of jin-poles for some interesting pules and lifting.
i have a MileMarker SI12000 24V mounted in the rear of my deuce - works great, just relatively slow (not compared to other electric winches, just to the PTO winch). after i get the engine swap finished, i will be converting the front PTO to hydraulic drive - i have the hydraulic PTO, pump, motor, valving, and lines already spec'd and engineered.
once that's dialed in, i plan to drop another PTO winch in the rear frame and tie that into the hydo' system as well.
Hydraulic PTO and twin Hydraulic winches, would be the route I would go. Otherwise check out some of the Tatras. they have a mid mounted winch with a pully hook in the rear and the bitter end going to the front. Sorry if this does not make much sence, rough few days.
