tuko Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 The local Land Rover dealership called this morning with a special request, they were looking for information leading to a Defender PTO for a customers 130. This customer is unique in the manner that he is allergic to electricity. He lives in the middle of no wheres and has no electricity. Apparently the motor on his tractor produces too much power that makes him ill when he is running the saws or what ever on the little farm he has. Therefore he is seriously looking for a PTO for his Defender. Is there such a thing avail for Defenders? I think I heard of Maxidrive one time ?? Is there anything avail over on your shores that would suit this guys requirements? Thanks for any suggestions. Cheers, Todd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean f Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 A lot of the utility companies use PTO powered winches (HW12??) so the gearbox connection end is about sourceing one might not be easy but they do come up fairly frequently second hand, most of these use a forward facing take of for the winch but the one I have (admittedly on a series) also has a rearward facing drive flange drilled to take a standard land rover prop. Not to sure what would go on the back of the vehicle but I assume something intended for a small tractor could be modified to fit, this would depend on what he is running then a custom propshaft made up to connect them together. A lot would depend on the sort of power he needed and the sort of money he wanted to spend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HPLP Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Ive got a superwinch PTO H14 winch on my 90 (well actually between the 90 and 110). Shafts and winch are off if you'd like photos. H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ced Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Contact Dieter from D&G Tuning WWW.dgTuning.com He designed his own PTO system for LR's. It will be a full mechanical one. There are different winch gearbox set ups to choose from, fast, stron, reliable ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe1970 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I recently bought a electric company 110 with a mechanical PTO winch on the front which I would sell if anyone is interested I dont need the roof rack either so would sell that to. I have a warn electric winch what I can put on which I took off my previous 90 which suits me better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jericho Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Superwinch make mechanical and hydraulic pto adapters for lt230 transfer boxes. Quite expensive new - from around £500 to £800. Rotech in devon fit-out alot of utilities defenders with superwinch kit.Give them a call for advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rohtron Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Webster Drives make a proper PTO adapter for the back of the transfer box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacr2man Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Why doesnt the customer just get a smaller generator for his tractor ? I cant imagine its a petrol tractor so it will only have an alternator on a diesel engine probably same size alt as on a defender engine. Or get a longer pto shaft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
