Memphis Equipment was selling the 18,000lbs 24 volt Warn's. That is more than likely the winch he is referring to.I believe they are 12 volt electric.
Memphis just recently had them listed on eBay(none right now) for $1700 reserve. See copy of email from Paul at Memphis below. If interested you might want to give 'em a call to see if they still have any.I have found them for about $2600 all set up. You can get them 12 or 24 volt. They are Warn Industrial winches. The biggest they make,18000lb.

thanks paul
and where would you mount it front and rear?
with Gringeltaube's destructive testing of OEM winch shear pins he achieved a consistant shear strength of ~250ft-lbs - this gives the calculated line pull of 13,800lbs at full drum and over 20k at bare drum (single line). put a snatch block on and you've got 40k lbs of pulling force at 100' reach. and given engine rpm and PTO gear, you could conceivably have these ratings at a line speed of 15 - 60 fpm (single line).... The factory GarWood is only rated for 10,000 lbs and they break the shear pin or worse if you exceede that rating. ...
Travis, I agree with everything you said but this. I see PTO winches all the time for $1,000-$1,200 ( I just sold a complete setup for $1,000).and at the prices posted, cheaper than a take-off PTO setup.
just need to weigh the pro's and con's for each.
i made that statement based on the $850 Craigslist posting in this thread. but beyond that price, i agree with you that PTO winch prices can [easily] beat the electric winch price.Travis, I agree with everything you said but this.
