I have an Edge Industries 15,000# hydraulic winch, from Skid Steer Solutions. It's attached to my T595 Bobcat. I'd like to increase the winch line speed, but have no knowledge of how to accomplish it or even if it's possible. Hoping someone out there has some experience/ideas.

Does it have high flow auxiliary hydraulics? If not, you may be able to add that option. Either way, the only way to increase the speed will be enough flow with enough pressure to satisfy the attachment’s requirements. Older, analog machines could have the fuel and pumps turned up and become little monsters, but the auxiliary lines were still a limit on flow. I’m not sure if the T595 is entirely electronic engine control or not, but if it is it would have to be reprogrammed and then you’d run the risk of damaging the emissions package.
