Hybrid_From_Hell Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Hi All, I am in the process of now changing the front end, making a new High(er) Level Winch Bumper etc, and looked at the winch on there at the mo - it is basically F HUGE and I have looked thought and measured and Yes I can lift it up / gain more approach, but it still will stick out a fair bit as the WxD is around 9.5 inches ! SO, I have looked at Options, the great thing about what I have is its power and its built like a B***k ****house , but I was wondering what my other options could be, a Type R is well up the list, but was wondering what else maybe I could / should consider ?... Links / websites pics would be good, around the Type R size, maybe a tad bigger, but too big then I may as well stay as I am now, would also like a larger amount of rope on drum type winch, I run a Hydro PTO (H14W) with 2 braid 1/2 BSP Pipework throughout with 1" BSP pipe feed from tank, and have twin spool valves as I have the PTO'd MM with High pressure motor on the rear So, other than a Type R any ideas ??

Anderzander Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I have the same winch as you Nige - have you moved it up already? If so, what did you do with relocating the hydraulic (drive) motor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milemarker Type S Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Have a chat with David Bowyer- He is producing a hydraulic version of the TDS and if the electric version is anything to go by then it will be pretty special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freeagent Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I'm sure i've seen a hydro conversion on an 8274 winch somewhere... it would tick a lot of your boxes (strong/fast/can extend drum for extra rope) might be worth a google search? With your machining/fab skills maybe creating your own hydro conversion might be an option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 ^^^^ I think that was Tonys G Wagen combo ? If IRC that cost a fair bit and a huge amount of time and research went into it - and a few £s too Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeagent Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 If i remember right the G-Wagen winch was an electro-Hydraulic hybrid, that switched the hydro motor in when the current draw got too high on the 'lecky motor.. I'm sure i've seen a full hydraulic 8274 on an Aussie website/magazine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

will_warne Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Nige, you've missed the best option for a hydraulic winch: sell it and replace it with an 8274 (or GP82) B) [Tin hat on] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl hurst Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Dont mess about this is the future Bomb proof,and have proved very reliable and powerfull, Me and saley built the prototype to overcome all the bad bits on a type R, Like rubbish bearings, no proper free spool, issues of bunching etc, The free spool on this winch is unreal, no effort needed to get rope out fast, ask anyone who has one, they speak for themself, Carl. Ps, They are grey now not yellow, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Are they the same footprint as an 8274? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl hurst Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Are they the same footprint as an 8274? Yes in standard form they will fit as a direct replacment in a 8274 mount and they have a long drum version, also alloy hawses to suite,For all specs you need to talk to saley he can tell you in more detail, Carl.
