In my never ending quest to find something that won't leave me crying as I watch most of my pay stub drift away before I can actually use the money for food I was trolling around the winching sub forums and found this recommended by a fellow mudder:
Winches - Greg Smith Equipment Sales, Inc
The 10k version was recommended over the 13k based on it's gearing. Thereafter ensued two debates, the first was similar to the pto v. electric debate, i.e. if the rig isn't running then neither will the hydraulic winch. On this one I figure if you have decided pto v. electric the same logic will apply to hydraulic v. electric.
The second debate was over running hydraulic off of the toyota ps pump. Those who have tried claim that the Toyota ps pump is too weak to run the hydraulic winch or it will run it but leave the winch running slow or underpowered. I have the 60 series ps setup in the mail should arrive any day so this concerns me. Short of getting a saginaw as suggested by a couple of mudders running hydraulic winches, the solution suggested was running the hydraulic pump off of the pto. It is said that there are folks here who have done it. Does anyone have a picture of a hydraulic winch pump running off of pump connected to the pto? I have not given up on the pto idea but that is alot of pull for a decent price if you can work out the pump to pto piece.
Just exactly how much of the pto would you need connected to the t case to drive the pump? Just the pto case and it's innards (36610) or farther out and all of the pto assembly (36611)...?
Are we talking something like this for a hydraulic pump. If so the pump costs as much as the winch:

Is Lowenbrau around searches on here keep popping up his build thread:
https://forum.ih8mud.com/40-55-series-tech/70-series-te...4-buildup.html where he and others mention that he is running this setup. Has anyone seen it, did you get any pics of it or can anyone get word to him to swing through and "hook a mudder up" with the "how to" on his setup.
I even found this ozzie post which didn't resolve the issue either:

To the mods I originally posed this question kind of off topic in another older thread so decided to pose it here on its own and not part of the pto v. electric debate. Hope that's ok.
Thanks to all,
John
