[QUOTE="deutzman, post: 4266765, member: 47419"] Mile Marker makes a hydraulic winch and can tap into the power steering pump for hydraulics. I think 3.5 gpm and 1,500 psi min. is needed. I found a used one for $450 and use my tractor hydraulics to operate it. This one came with wireless remotes or can be hardwired. It's rated 10,500lbs. 2 speed in and out and free wheel. Right now I'm pulling butt cuts and some logs out of left over logging piles. It sure operates smooth and has plenty of power for my use. 100 ft. of 3/8th cable. I pull most out in fast speed and that's about as fast as I walk. Pulled a few in low speed that high wouldn't pull. I have it mounted on the 3 pt. hitch. Very happy with it so far. [/QUOTE]
