"Our 20,000 lbs. Garwood, is ideal for installing in the rear of trucks with its 34 in. width. It too can be bolted to a stock frame. The length (30in.) is sometimes bulky, mounted in the front. It fits nicely under truck beds. Weight-220 lbs."

Sorry, ain't buying 220lbs. Gotta weigh more than that. I know I had to use a 3 point lifting hitch on a tractor to load mine into the bed of a deuce.

Heck, a 10K Deuce winch and accesories weighs 530#.

"Our 12,000 lb. Garwood winch is the most popular since it can be mounted between most stock truck frames (34in). Bolts from the outside of the frame. Weight-156 lbs."
That, too, seems awfully light, but here's the source...

Does anyone know if you can winch and drive a M925A1 at the same time. I cannot seem to find anything in the archives on this. I guess what I am asking is can the winch be engaged and in drive at the same time to help getting unstuck. Thanks Gary

It's a self recovery winch.........

To be used in the manner in which the TM describes.
With the truck in gear, the PTO output isn't going to spin at speed. Remember, that's how it's engaged. Only in neutral does the PTO spin at enough speed for the hyd. to work properly. It's not meant to be ran on the road.

That would be a no, which is nuts but true the front winch on all 939 series trucks are not for self recovery the -10 clearly states that a second vehicle with a winch is to be used to unmire a truck in deep mud. This means only a 936 can self recover with the rear winch.

I must be missing something, but yes, assisting the winch for self recovery with driving wheels would be nice, (But some dufus probably had a wreck doing it wrong and therefore spoilt it for all that follow - new ruleing and soforth) BUT, what's wrong with using the winch, at full pto speed, truck in neutral for SELF RECOVERY????? - of course, snatch blocks to multiply capacity etc., when really stuck.

Generally the truck should be able to drive in the direction of the pull to be considered a self recovery winch.
