Winches Again
Mudlark:
--- Quote from: "Bulli" ---you couldnt take part in the top level challenges with any of the cheaper winches i have seen in action. I had a GEW 9000...i dont have one now. It was great in as much as it didnt give up other then when attempting to pull a GWAGON(they are made of lead). My xp is way way faster.
The problem with the cheaper winches is the speed or lack of it. The top lads have winches that under no load are much quicker than walking pace...the gew wasnt much quicker than snail pace......

OK so can I take it that hydraulic winches also fit into the slow category as well or are there fast ones?
datalas:
there are fast ones, but they aren't cheap and they need to be powered by something, which usually involves a pump (and despite what you may hear a power steering pump isn't enough) and they tend to involve the engine...
it's all swings, roundabouts and possibly small plastic slides

Oh yes
a member on here thought that a PAS pump "might" cope with just powering the winch itself & not the steering....................
Dan did you not wonder why the TypeR has a chain drive of the front crank pulley :biglaugh:
Mudlark:
So how fast would the 2 speed mile marker be then? with a proper dedicated pump of course (not a PSP)
