Vehicle winch. Which one?

H14 (PTO) for me too - I like the way you can control the speed by selecting the correct gear and you feel in control. Mine also feels bulletproof. The only down side I can think of is that the bearings on the pto shaft are a little hard to come by - my local prop shaft company did the business though when it needed rebuilding.

Best of luck

if your expecting the winch to do any hard work, then a hydraulic or PTO driven one is a must, the duty cycle on even the best electric ones is awfull, and the warmer the motor gets, the more current they draw for the same pull, ( I used to fit the Electric ones on fire engines and these were electronicly de-rated to 3 tonnes for this reason), even the cheapy hydraulic ones will run at a constant pull all day, just watch the fluid temps, and your PTO ones, well how good's your gearbox, depending on your base vehicle, there are a multitude of fitting kits and systems out there, just depends on the depth of your pockets, and your level of "engineering" ability as to which way you go (running a mog I'm spoiled, one werner on a TPL mount , and two cheapy ones, one rigged to fit on the hiab, and one for a front or rear mount off the tow hitch points, I wouldnt go back to electric for any serious work ). good luck with what ever way you choose to go
