88inchthing Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Hi all I have been offered a Superwinch H14 hydraulic at a very good price. It does not however include the pump. Now I know some people run hydraulic winches from power steering pumps. So my question is can I run an h14 in this way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landy-Novice Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 i dont it could be a LR as they are low pressure pump, aint they suppose to use pto pumps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruuman Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 the H14's are design to run with a high rpm 28cc (I think) hydraulic motor, from the factory they come with a 25cc (ish) PTO driven pump rated at 180-190bar. So to work properly you need very good flow and high pressure. Your power steering pump will be capable of neither I'm afraid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
