Hydraulic Winch
 

Hey,
Have any of y'all out there in Jeep land had any experience with the
Mile Marker hydraulic winches. Christmas is coming up soon and Kate
has been hinting for a winch for her Rubi. I never have been a fan of
electric winches. Yeah, Iknow, they've been around for a long time but
electric winches have a high amp draw, toasted batteries amd alternators
etc. Hydraulics are simple, heat is the big enemy with them.
Thanks

>>Hydraulics are simple, heat is the big enemy with them.

With hydraulic winches, if your engine isn't running, you have no winch. You
could still get a limited pull from an electric to pull yourself from the
water hole that caused your engine to hydrolock.

Heat is not good for electrics, either.

I think most people prefer electrics for their relatively simple
installation, reliability and ability to run independent of the engine. A
good deep-cycle battery is a plus if you need the winch often.

BTW hats off to you, as being Kate's worse half :-)

Mile Marker offers a free video that is mostly about electrics but does
cover some hydraulics as I recall

Lucky Kate!

Dont know anything about hydro winches, but an electric with a dual battery set up
gives you almost no chance to go wrong (start/run the rig off of one and run the
winch, lights, etc off the other one - not all that hard to wire in either).

Of course then its the cable/rope decision... not to mention is it Warn, Tmaxx,
Superwinch, or ??? (cant recall the 4th big name).

Re: Hydraulic Winch
 

The trouble with a hydraulic winch is that if you are trying to recover your
own vehicle, the winch REQUIRES the engine to be running during the
recovery, this is not always possible or practical.

Yes, the electric units have a relatively short duty cycle, but the vast
majority of recovery operations are shorter than the battery life, and once
your self-recovered vehicle is back on its wheels, you could start the motor
if need be, and continue winching caution, keeping in mind the very issues
you have raised.

If you were always recovering others and never recovering yourself, the
hydraulic winch makes lots of sense, but as soon as you are in the
predicament where you are recovering yourself AND you are not on your
wheels, you will quickly understand the shortcomings of hydraulic winches.

Re: Hydraulic Winch
 

There have only been two times I couldn't recover my Jeep and had to
walk a 'long' way for help and in both cases my wheels were no longer on
the ground and it wouldn't have been good or even possible to run my
engine when tipped way over like that.

I now have an electric winch, a Warn HS9000i, so I will likely never be
in that situation again. LOL!
