Not sure where to post this question, so here goes.
Has anyone tried to run a PTO driven winch of of an auxillary engine? Does anybody know what the approx. hp output of a 5ton pto would be? Would like to mount a winch on the back of my truck but from what I've seen rear facing PTO units are pricey. I have access to many small engines that I could use to drive the winch shaft.
I worked for a well driller that used a similar setup on his water tanker to pump water to the drill rig, and that seemed to work.
Thanks
