WINCH RECEIVER for TRAILER.MOV - YouTube

Artisan,
After seeing the video, I say you won't have a bowing problem pulling rolling vehicles up on the trailer. Nice installation! How much did the water jet cutting cost?
hugs, Brandi

Just tell him Artisan the plumber sent u and he'll be VERY fair.
I don't use him over and over cause he is over priced...his pricing
is very fair indeed. A lot depends on, speed of cut, who supplies material,
inches of cut, thickness of material and what kind of material...
I have used many a jetcutter, I go here first now-a-days.

I'm not sure who it was, there may have been 2 folks whom wanted to
know how I will power the winch. I believe I have decided to use a
set up one might buy for a tow truck. There is a 3' or so long pigtail or
lead you connect to a vehicles battery (usually) then a quick disconnect
for the long run w/ battery cable clamps. I will kind of reverse it to suit my
needs, and all will be plug and play, and I Like, Plug & Play!

If I go this route I can attach the eyelet ends or the short lead to the
winch itself and when needed pull out the balance of the cable set and
simply clamp on to the dump trailer's OR the tow vehicle's battery.

I can go either or...I like either or!

Doing it this way truly makes the unit totally portable w/o the need
for power wires run to the front, or rear of every vehicle I plug it into,
in a pernament way. If I were using this daily I would go a different
route but I am not so, werks fer me!

The inconvenience of a cable laying over the top of a vehicle or the
side or laying on the ground for the minimal use it will get is negligible.

Just lift the dump-bed, connect the battery cable clamps to the battery,
plug the Anderson Connector together and Viola! InstoWincho Senior' !

I found this 4 ga. unit on Ebay for a good price compared to
professional tow truck web sites;

NorthernTool Q&A page #2 (last Q) says this winch pulls 425 AMPS
and 70 AMPS w/ no load.

This is #4 wire...am I OK? This is not day in and day out use...

Looks great. Very strong looking. Should handle a lot more than the winch capacity.

Mine has done well using a 8,000lb Warn and it's not built as heavily as that. Not that I've needed to put the full capacity on it yet.

 

[Artisan]

Appreciate the input .50 score

Yea I think it will work...

 

[frodobaggins]

That'd be 25 cent score...
