Ken tried to convince me to buy one. Yeah.... WAYYYY too many bones for my blood.

I found a good deal on a Ram 8000 lb winch, and welded on an adapter to the base plate . I can now connect it to the 2 in receiver on the PT, or up front. I use an extra battery with the winch. I have a pendent control, but am looking for a wireless remote control.

This one from HF goes on sale often, and is wireless remote control.

Has anybody used that synthetic rope on their winch , and what load did you pull with what size was the rope?

Carl,

I am suprised that you don't have one of those Mile Marker hydraulic winches to help you with all that stuff you get into. I am just helping you spend your money. The electric ones are much cheaper.

I saw in the link that the winch can be used underwater. Has anyone ever submerged a PT?

Is the PT T336 2-tom Winch worth buying from PT at $950.

For about the same price as the PT hyd winch, at $950, I believe I would rather have the Mile Marker 9000 lb of pulling power, at 1500 psi. As far as working underwater, like anything else that gets hot and cools down underwater, it might take in a little water unless really tight.

If you submerge the battery and/or charging system, you are obviously all done...... You can submerge the winch, though.

I am sure someone has drowned a PT somewhere.

I use the synthetic rope on my electric winch. It is as strong or stronger than cable. You do have to worry about abrasion though. But nice to have something that is safer than a heavy cable if they snap and also no strands to jab you.

What size synthetic rope, to replace my 3/8 in cable? What cost, if you know.

I have the PT winch for the 422/425. It works, but it does not have a neutral. You have to power it in and out. This is very awkward. I have to tie a string (I use paracord) to the aux PTO handle and pull on it with one hand while I pull on the winch cable with the other two hands. I recommend against it.

Bob,

You do know that they make a wireless remote for a hyd solenoid valve.

Could I use that to replace the aux PTO valve? This sounds like a lot of complication for a rare use. Do you have any idea of the cost?
