A strong slow straight winch pull will not/should not damage a loader frame as much as slamming into a pile of hardcore and finding sommat very hard and solid with one corner of the bucket, or the twist imparted by trying to lift sommat very heavy with one corner of the bucket.

imho

Once you've bottomed the rams out as you winch the preload in (assuming the excess pressure doesn't blow the seals) then it's simply the loader trying to stop the tractor moving forward without folding up itself. Given that there is a bend in every loader arm which is at approximately 110 degrees to the ground when fully down, it's obvious where the weak point is.

 

Mechanical sympathy says that none of the above examples should happen!

Hi Monkeybusiness, EA use Ulrich winches but they normally have an extra hydraulic pump and tank fitted to the front as the 10t ones need a large flow rate. the 15t ones are the same. I worked for the EA and use to drive them. They would pull like a train and were great to work with. we had plasma rope on the one I ran. made light work but we worked on three jobs and then had to replace the rope. £1500 a pop.
