Thread: Hydraulic Winch

Maggsie,

I had a couple mates run Superwinch Husky hydraulic winches back in the UK. They used to be connected to the power steering pump and they worked very well. Just very expensive...

I have a Mile Maker running off a MD pto with cross hyd pump. System is designed to flow 60ltr/min. I have a 12v solinoide control valve with a simple push button cable remote. I had a double over center valve fitted directly to the winch motor as these winches have no brake, which is ok until you loose fluid! I am very happy with the system. The only bad comment on the winch is the powder coating is blistering off the cast alloy housing. Resivour holds approx 20ltr's and has in tank filters. System runs through a proper spin on filter. Pressure relief valve is set for stall load.

and very slow, because the output of a PAS pump is much lower than the output of most regular hydraulic pumps.

You also run the risk of wearing out the seals in the PAS pump quicker and having a failure when out in the bush still with the drive home ahead of you.
