Anderzander Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I’m thinking ahead to my 80 being finished and pondering what winch options I might have. Can anyone suggest what kind of drum winches might be available and affordable? I remembered there are a lot of good suggestions made in this thread: but, in the last two years, a good few of them seem to have become unaffordable ... If they are all silly money, then perhaps I should just pick up a tirfor ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honitonhobbit Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I have a working,but needs love, Pierce on my bench. It's barely 14k lbs, but you are welcome to it. It was a kind gift from a Dutchman on here, so it's yours if you want it. Gratis Worm drive and ideal for sedate but massive recovery Also got a Husky 8000 in bits in a box - but money will have to change hands as is owes me. Not much, but I need to pay the same Dutch man for what he paid for it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderzander Posted January 15, 2018 Author Share Posted January 15, 2018 Oooo - that all sounds interesting! Excuse my ignorance though - what does the Pierce look like? Is it an electric drum winch ? Or something else? Not sure I’ve ever seen one. Thank you for replying chaps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daan Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 PTO/Capstan is really the only correct choice for a series! Daan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted January 15, 2018 Author Share Posted January 15, 2018 And they’re a fortune now it seems .... plus I’d probably lose a finger. I think t also helps to have two people - one to steer and one to work the winch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d love to take you up on that kind offer and happy to give you something or the forum for it. We are at opposite ends of the country so it would probably need a relay of some sort.

Arjan Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Series Mounting plate needs to travel from France.... ... and is for Series II and later Can try to find some pics if you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I may be able to forum-relay from Mr Hobbit to somewhere north, although it may involve roping in Miketomcat and it wouldn't be til later in the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be fantastic - and definitely no rush on time. 14 minutes ago, Arjan said: Series Mounting plate needs to travel from France.... ... and is for Series II and later Can try to find some pics if you want I would imagine a series 2 mount wouldn’t be a million miles away? Should as a minimum give an idea of what’s what 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
