Right, the 8274 is rated at 8k pounds from memory, maybe 9k, but certainly not more. They do pull better than comparable lay down style winches though.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
At first I thought you where kidding. Then I went back and enlarged the picture. WOW ! Your right though about the snatch blocks, but you need to keep in mind the snatch block needs to be double the winch capacity. Also as you go with more snatch block each one needs to be double the capacity of the last one in succession. So the first one would be 16,000Ibs, then 32,000Ibs , then 64,000Ibs. By this time your out of line, and line capacity.Never thought I'd see an 8274 on a deuce... That's a new one. I suppose it'll pull with enough snatch blocks.
This is ONLY true if you are using a cascading rigging, in normal snatch block rigging, (back and forth between point A and B) all the lines split the load, the cumulative pull would equal the needed pull, the ATTACHING point ON the pull needs to be able to take the FULL load of the pull, the same goes for the winch/snatch block/blocks. On a 2 part pull, the snatch block would needed to be rated for the pull due the the single snatch block attaching point, on a 4 part pull using 3 snatch blocks, each snatch block needs only be rated at 1/2 on the need pull. If the 4 part pull used a single snatch block (double sheave) then again the block would need the be rated for the pull due to the single attaching point.At first I thought you where kidding.

Yes the line (wire rope) is halved each time you add a new snatch block, but the block themselves must be able to handle the increase in pull. Also the angle of the lines makes a huge difference. There are some great PDF's for free download explaining all of this.This is ONLY true if you are using a cascading rigging, in normal snatch block rigging, (back and forth between point A and B) all the lines split the load, the cumulative pull would equal the needed pull, the ATTACHING point ON the pull needs to be able to take the FULL load of the pull, the same goes for the winch/snatch block/blocks.

Yeah, but its running on 24v so it'll be twice as strong!!!!!!Right, the 8274 is rated at 8k pounds from memory, maybe 9k, but certainly not more. They do pull better than comparable lay down style winches though.
We are on topic. We are talking about winches and winch accessories or was that "propane and propane accessories" ? STOP that Bobby !!!
For the PTO linkage ?ok i got my winch and pto but now i need to get some linkage or make some does any one have a pic of the linkage so i know what i'm looking for or need to make?
Thank you.
