pto winch

just been offered a complete fairy pto winch setup and was tinking about fitting it to my 90 to use for challange events, as its cheeper that a hydraulic setup and no motors to burn out.
just wornered if any one knows what they are like it terms of relabiality and what spares should i get.


thanks for any info/ advice

I got one on me 110, Never let me down, pulls as if nothings on the end of it.

Just keep it well looked after and it'll last bloomin ages.

Ive got a fairey pto drum winch on my s2 and they are brilliant so long as the pto and winch gearbox have oil in them you wont need any spares.
Only weak points are the prop u/js and the prop sliding joints if you dont lube them often.
Only downfall is they are slow with a capital S but just dont stop pulling.

a warn 8274

just bear in mind you could probably crawl quicker than that thing will pull

i do punch/winch challenges and time is of the escence the 8274 i have has a gigglepin gearbox conversion and is bloody quick

the pto wont win any speed awards but will pull slow and steady if thats what ya want

carn afford a warn 8274

looking for a cheaper solution, allready killed my electric superwinch at the winch challange on saturday.

Agreed they won't win on speed, But for constant, steady pull they'll out do most winches.

agreed but most people would have finished and gone home while your still winching

I went greenlaning a couple of months ago with a friend in a 109 and he slid of the track and got stuck, so up the hill i go turn around strop myself to a tree and get winching yawn took bloody ages but got him out then spent even more time winding the cable back on the drum.
Once out of curiosity i pulled all the cable of the drum approx 90 yards and still several turns left the proceeded to reel it back on i wont be doing that again i can tell you ever!
