I agree with you that hydro winches are much better.If you guys have ever used a hydraulic one, you would not want anything else. They can be had cheap, and run off the steering pump. MileMarker makes them, and they can be had for peanuts, used. Mount it on a small hitch plate, and have a receiver in front and rear of the truck, with some Bobcat type quick connect fittings on the steering pump hose. Their ability to work under water and 100% duty cycle is fabulous, plus they are impervious to rain and weather exposure, unlike an electric one.
When you say that they can be had cheap... I'm hoping that you have a source that I'm not aware of because I've been looking at fleaBay and they're around a grand!
I would much rather do a hydraulic one if I can find it priced reasonably.
If you know of a place, please PM me if not allowed to just post it, openly here.
