Hydraulic winch and PTO questions: Mile Marker or not?
Hybrid_From_Hell replied to henk's topic in International Forum
Thats a mile marker with a low power motor for running off pas pumps. You need a bigger motor for pto drive ..I use one on the rear of my 90 and pto mm is very quick and powerful set up fit. 1/2 pipework needed and a 20 ish litre sump tank I use JCB control blocks with on neutral reverse levers on my front and rear hydro winches Lots of money to get working properly The pas powered mm are sloooooooooow to a point you won't belive -

Serious Battery Recommendations !
Hybrid_From_Hell replied to Hybrid_From_Hell's topic in International Forum
Its an oddball of an engine ! The injectors run at 62 PSI, its 5.2 V8 and 13.4 Compression and a wild cam with Valve over lap It takes around 10 x seconds cranking to Fire when its cold and been stood. The starter has 50mm welding cable as do the earths, and a new starter, basically because its a JED Full race its a bit of a piggy to fire ! Hopefull, sunday I am allowed to play on it and fir the new twins N -
Seriously phone up R Tech say Nige @ Megasquirt said if I ask you very very nicely he said you might give me a little discount on the above ... Great guys to deal with and I have sent a few peeps there way and have given them either some freebies or a bit of discount The warranty they give is worth buying from them 101% IMHO Nige

Hybrid_From_Hell replied to Hybrid_From_Hell's topic in International Forum
Ah ha .. Mr White is right logic is . A massively expensive say oddessy battery at £400 mighyvgive 100 AH AND 1200 ish cca. Where as withbjjs advise I have bought 2 x 072 batteries (chrosg do the powers and specifications vary !) which when linked together gives me 150 Ah and 1300 Cca for 129 delivered. Some.072s are cheap ....some big bucks a la this https://www.batterymegastore.co.uk/product/north-star-nsb-agm-34-78-uk-part-code-072/. I bought 2 x https://www.tayna.co.uk/car-batteries/enduroline/072/ Not too far behind but bargin price 4 yrs warranty and with me next course of days . love this forum -

Piccies and I can prob tell ! -
My 2 x RR Spec batteries have started to die. 1 x RR battery isn't really enough for the engine (5.2 Full race JED V8). It needs a bucket of Power to start it, then it has twin 40 amp spals and other electrics. So, I need to change , rather than go for 2 x batteries, I would like to go for 1 x Monster bit of kit. Bear in mind the engine is both 5.2 AND High compression, even 1 x Optima Red Top struggles ! Recommendations of really high quality seriously beefy batteries ! (Thank gawd 2 of the 3 winches are all Hydro !) Nige
