Tractor Hydraulic Winch

[monkeybusiness]

Hi - I'm looking for a large hydraulic winch to mount on the front of a 150hp tractor. The tractor doesn't have a front linkage or PTO. I saw (from a distance) an Environment Agency John Deere with exactly what I am looking for fitted - it had spade legs and looked really substantial. Does anyone know where to look for these? I am not concerned about fabricating a mount, and weight isn't an issue as the tractor needs ballasting at the front anyway. Any advice/makes to look for would be gratefully received! Cheers.

Mod-sales do ex army stuff, sommat off the front of a "Mil-spec" loading shovel sounds about right.

rated at 10 tonne line capacity, which will probably pull nearer 20.

Should be able to source else-where cheaper than mod-sales mind.

Hi mate have you fitted winch yet thanks Jon

Not yet Jon - I have found a bit of a monster from some big military vehicle but haven't had the time to get it yet. There will be a fair bit of head scratching in terms of fitting it too I reckon - once done I'll stick up some pics!

Hi mate what size is the winch thanks Jon

[monkeybusiness]

10.4 tonne Ulrich (apparently same company as Boughton). Hopefully it hasn't been sold to someone else!

HI MONKEY I've a 6.5ton one on my tractor on the front off the weight frame thanks jon

Sounds good - does it need a ground anchor or is the tractor heavy enough to hold it?
