Does anybody have a electric winch on their deuce? I am thinking about one becuase of the cost & it would be used for light use.

Brad, I looked at that for my 5 ton for the bed. If you're going for the same weight capacity, you're looking at about the same cost once it's all installed. Good cable for hooking up to the battery is going to be expensive.
BTW, Where in Atlanta are you? I'm Inside the Perimeter, are you too?

Elec winch
When my son and I were at aberdeen, I saw 24 volt hummer winchs. My idea was to mount one on the rear. I have a pto winch on the front, but would love to have this setup. Would be easier to use by yourself. Mark

The problem w/ electric winches is, when you use them near their rated capacity, they overheat very easily. Some electric winches have thermal cutoffs that'll try and disable the winches before you burn them up, but even then they'll only pull 2 feet or so before they overheat and you have to wait for them to cool down. For light duty they're okay, but for your deuce you'll probably want something heavier.
The only thing better than the deuce's PTO winch IMO would be a hydraulic winch. Like the PTO they can't overheat, and unlike the PTO you can't break them by overloading them. It's easier to run hydraulic lines to them if they're in odd places. I've also heard that you can get conversion kits for 10K and 20K deuce winches by contacting the companies that made them.

Surplus Center is a good place for Hydraulics from what I understand.

Hydraulics sound good, but the truck has no hydraulics on it. What would you use to power it?
