hydralic winch

Thanks I will have to check out northern tool. My truck has no pto at all and I know where I can get a 900 series hyd winch for $400.00 I just did not know what to do for a pump.

I'm running a 45,000lb wrecker drag winch off of hyd. on a civilain KW. It's powered by a 1,700 in/lb motor (which is a very large hyd motor) and a 40GPM pump. By the time I geared it to pull the rated 45,000lb it is still pretty slow and the oil heats up pretty quick on long pulls.

Another thing I did on this setup was to mount a remote valve and attached an air cylinder. That way I can run air valves to where ever I want to control the winch which is alot easier, neater, and cheaper to run mutiple controls. I think this same setup would work well for the duece.

If I was going hyd I'd want a minimum 20GPM pump and atleast a 5gal resivor.

The Canadian M35(MLVW) has a hydraulic winch with a PTO mounted pump, the oil reservoir is the size of the M35 fuel tank and has external filters. You need a large volume of oil so it will remain relatively cool In our series truck the pump handles the winch and if so mounted the hiab crane. The winch is basically controlled by rpm .

So, that would be a fifty (50) gallong oil tank!?! Wow.
