boyt Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 After fitting my hydraulic winch to my discovery (what a pain of a job fitting the PTO) it doesn't seem to pull very well at all, if I was winching on tarmac it will pull me fine intill I put my breaks on then it cuts out, I've checked the pressure relief valve, it's set to 2500 psi, awaiting gauge to comform this, spoke to a hydraulic specialist today, he seems to think that's all the winch would pull anyway, has anyone had one and how did they pull, Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fozsug Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Maybee pm the member who's topic it was to see if they resolved it, otherwise i think Nige is faily up on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve b Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 you need to put a temporary test gauge in the winch feed hyd hose and get a definite reading , up to 200 bar should be fine as a line pressure , ONLY use proper test kit as 200 bar of hyd pressure is V dangerous if miss-handled , its something a mobile hyd vanman could do for you if you don't have access to the right kit . Was it with the drum fully loaded with cable ? and also what size pipework are you using for pressure and pump supply ? and what sort of contol valve? and what gear/engine speed were you testing at ? 4th(1:1) at 2500rpm is usually peak pump performance The grade of hyd oil will make a difference too . What size is your tank? My Mayflower that's now hyd blows the relief valve a lot sooner with a full drum cheers Steveb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyt Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 It's the exact set up in the last two links fozsug posted, I've order the gauges and will be here at end next week, does anyone know the leak off value for the motor in a minute?

CwazyWabbit Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Did you solve this? Going to be fitting one of these and just want to make sure I know the likely problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Smith Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 If I had those symptoms on a tractor the first thing I would do is strip and rebuild the spool valve. I reckon it's leaking internally and you're not getting pressure at the motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyt Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 Yes all tested. Needs motor. Cheapest I have found one for is 340. So rethinking on what to do. Trying to find a decent 2nd hand winch but not much around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CwazyWabbit Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Are the motors rebuildable? Maybe that would be a cheaper option assuming the seals are available.... I'll caveat that with I know nothing about hydraulic motors or their seals so maybe that is something that is not possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve b Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 You could try breakers yards or plant repairers for a s/h one , that does sound like a retail price to me , and also put a wanted ad on here too ? Its just a hyd motor , its not specific to superwinch cheers Steveb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
