Re: PTO driven hydrulic winch install to Prado...

I should really update this post. As I was entered into a Tuff Truck event, I desided the winch wasn't fast enough so I removed it and sold it. I Purchased a Ramsey RPH10000 with ratio of 5:1? instead of the runva's 26:1 ratio and strapped it in. (With a few more mods to the bullar) Increased the va...

I use 3/4" for the oil pickup. (Suction Side) 1/2 for the presure side. No use going larger than the connections into the pump and valve body. The hose are only short so it helps to reduce friction hence heat. Those nylon cuplings are very strong, BUT I do carry a spare one... Have no idea of H...

UPDATE Spent the day up the Mungatuks last weekend and had no problems with the Winch oil overheating. It didn't even come up to operating temperature. Maxed out at 54 degs.... So no cooling needed.. (I'm a happy man.) The hardest winch of the day only used 300- 500 psi of pressure.. Not even workin...

Re: PTO driven hydrulic winch install to Prado...

What pump did you use.. I'm looking at installing a radiator now... Note: It seems I may have over powered the pump while testing for the first time. I was at 2500 rpm and I should have been at 2000. The extra wasted HP would have generated a lot of extra heat. After re-testing yesterday, the tank/o...

Re: PTO driven hydrulic winch install to Prado...

Part 3 Well the system was plumbed up today. I also installed pressure guage for monitoring the state of the system. Pirtex did a nice job. The oil tank only held 14 litres. A tittle disapointing but is more than recommended. Testing. It worked. Set presure release valve to 1530 psi. After winching ...

Yep thought of that. The pickup is in the middle of the tank. What ever angle it's on will be fine. How ever. I didn't allow for the truck being on its roof..

Thanks for your suggestions. There is no movment in the joint. As the mount bolts to the transfer case.. .So the pump moves with the PTO...

Update. Proline are building the oil tank this week with baffles in it. Yes the holes in the baffles will be large enought to allow for the flow rate. The pump should empty the tank out every 10 seconds... size is estimated at around 17l. Only filling it will tell. 3mm alloy... Looks like Pirtek are...

Pumps rated at 65lpm at 2500psi I only need 50 to 60lpm at 1500-2000psi or less if I want to winch slower. im suprised that you were reccomended only 12ltrs. only as it was calcuated by an "expert" that i'd best run a 20ltr tank for my front and rear hydro steering. I run about 10ltrs as i...

Hi there, Looks good what your doing, should all work sweet as. Read the bit about the 12l oil tank, and i would be trying to go a bit bigger if you have the room. The oil seems to take a few winches to heat up, but once you get heat into it can take hours to cool back down. Volume will definently ...
