now thats not an accurate assessment of anything ive said. im simply
challenging the silly notion that the military reserves the "serious"
stuff for the few warns they still have on hand. the hydraulic winch
does not heat up, its capable of pulling FULL CAPACITY 24/7 and never
requires cool down. ive said many times that electric winches are
great but c'mon....even you have to admit that for "serious" work,
electric and hydraulic isnt even comparable.

Re: MileMarker PE8000
I have zero experience with hyd. winches, but how do you operate them if
you have a stalled engine, like from a water crossing (example used as
one of their advantages)?

Re: MileMarker PE8000
Although the prices of the winches aren't bad, when you add on the
hydrolic addaptor kit of between $249.00 to $429.00 it brings the price up
to a warn.

Re: MileMarker PE8000
It is basically a waterproof winch that works off the steering pump (I
think?) and I imagine the idea is that an amphibious lander would be
snorkel-equipped, which means the winch could be completely submerged and
both the truck and winch will operate (unlike an electric). I almost bought
one of the MM winches but it was a refurb and that kinda scared me off. What
I've heard of them is they are extremely slow but extremely reliable.
