dollythelw Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 interesting to see the Bowyer hydraulic thing - looks like a type R in all by name, expecially amusing as the grumpy pigmy kicked off big time a couple of years ago at the mere mention of the H word Im not sure how one drum differs in bunching characteristics to another drum winch, I'm a bit slow - I think I'd need drawings to understand that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saley Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Hello, The Saley winch formally known as the Stud 150 (no more as stud 150 is somthing else, google it ) is extreamly well priced when you compare it to others Winch with standard hole pattern 10" x 4 1/2" or plus 2" 12" x 4 1/2" c/w with motor £1600 Regards John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ1 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I am new to hydro winches only ever used electric ones, If i was to go for somthing like saleys winch what else would i have to get to run it. If i was to spend that much on a winch i might as well have it working as well as it could! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 You'd need pretty much everything :-) If you want it to be as good as it can be you'd want a PTO driven high capacity pump, a good sized reservoir, a spool valve and if you wanted to have cab control a morse lever too and finally all the pipe work. Perhaps 2" from the reservoir to the pump and 1 1/2" for the rest of the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Hi, you have several options, P.T.O Driven, Direct of the crank via a adapter and mini prop or a chain driven pump, Best using a dog cluch so pump can be disengaged when not needed, spool valves with solonoids on so you can have control outside the car, pipes are no big issue, easy made by a local hydraulic firm, tank, Remember only 1 pump set-up for 2 winchs (not used at same time) so if you compare to an equvelant spec winch on the market this is very good value for money, if you buy one off john he will advise/supply all the bits you need, Carl.

dollythelw Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I can operate both at the same time, mildly more funky valve but it saves extra piping and has a built in prv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boothy Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 In all fairness the free spool (which can be operated in cab) on the Saley winch and it's sealed roller bearing drum a 2 year old could comfortably pull rope off, it's absolutely effortless and a real joy, and I know he's ran his front winch all last year in comp's to see how good they really are and it was perfect and dry as well. It's a very good bit of kit, I'm just saving up, tyres next then Saley winches. He bitched for me Sunday and did nothing but moan about slow 8274's, then about overrun, then about spooling out back knotting, in fact he moaned all day.

Boothy Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Sorry, what I meant to say was that Saley ran his front winch completely dry with no oil whatsoever in it all last year as another test of it's ruggedness, with no ill effects at all. It must be tough Alan Kemp's not broke one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saley Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I can operate both at the same time, mildly more funky valve but it saves extra piping and has a built in prv We can operate both at the same time with twin bank spool valve and built in prv, manual inside cab for control with solenoids so can use outside. As for pipe work you need 3/4" single from tank to filter to pump then 1/2" double for the rest, exept the guage 1/4" will do for that.

Chunk's Toys Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 hi I wish i had known about these saley winches 12 months ago, before i bought two type r milemarker winches........ they're okay and thats about it. what really piddles me off is i can't engage hi gear or free spool without being ontop winch!! Wondered if anyone knew of a system or parts to do it with! Is there a website for these saley winches cuz i might be tempted to buy two of them instead of these darn type r's!!
