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!
