Jeff, Happy new year ! Can you point me to that thread? A remote for the 936 front winch intrigues me and would be Handy for MY application. Thanks ! T.C.
Ya Red,Made a Custom one for mine.If I can remember long enough,I'll snap a pic tomorrow. The link would only be about 4" just enough to slide over the support bar as pictured ,just gives you an eye up and down. You could use a pin style hook instead of a shackle if you wanted. I just simplified...
Since acquiring my 936 I've been trying to figure out how to use the Drag winch and crane at the same time. As I seldom go out staffed as the vehicle was in original service. Friday I installed a Lodar remote and it does exactly what I wanted to do. I can run the Drag from the crane station or...
With Crane work you KNOW exactly what you are lifting..........or you don't lift.......In Towing/Recovery those absolutes don't exist at Odark thirty on the side of the road. You make educated projections based on what intel you can glean. I suspect the individual lifting the trailer knows...
Proper craneing and Wrecker craneing are two distinct animals. When kept in line with the Long axix of the truck you CAN,Safely do things you should not anfd would not attempt with a proper crane.

I was thinking more along the lines on a Warn or Ramsey planetary........Much lighter and holds 125-150' of 3/8's or 7/16ths wire. My question is on valving . Do the stock valves have power beyond port type hydraulics? Thinking maybe one piggybacked to the Drag too to help when I'm shorthanded...
936 winch mod
Jeff, as you are quite knowledgable about these(and I'm just learning)You hard would it be to rig and plumb a second winch say 12-15 K behind the roller on the main doom(near stay rods). The reason? Controlled rolls and/or to help control akward loads. Your Thoughts?
