    Electric Winch Install

    I use the heavy jacket stuff from tarmac, 2/0 I think if it's available. I'l like to buy a 100' of that for the weld trailer upgrade.

    Electric Winch Install

    I have a dump trailer with the setup. Not very much hp. Would be slow with a winch. VEEEEERRRRRRYYYYYY slow I think. One can purchase a 24Vdc motor pump from a forklift that might come close if the winch motor is just the right size. You won't do it with the motor on the winch on my...

    Electric Winch Install

    And it can double for your wood splitter power source! I think many have a dual pump with a high and low flow rate so may work for a light load (full flow, low pressure) or a heavy one (low flow, high pressure) . Make sure you have about 1.5 times the cylinder capacity in the tank. (Sorry...

    Nasty610, I was responding to the statement that a straight line pull would require less tonnage than pulling from a 10 degree angle. Maybe I'm mistaken in what was meant. He said; "According to "my" documentation trying to recover a Leopard 2A5 (which weighs in at 65T give or take) burried...

    TehTDK something is wrong with your calculation model. I have a hydraulic crane on a 4x4 f66 that has 51' of reach and about 15k# pull and know for a fact that pulling at the 45 degree angle is not the same as pulling up the angle. Been there done that...and it requires less pull load raised...
