    Consider the PTO forgotten. I know Mile Marker makes a kit. It will have to wait at least until June/July anyway as right now Im focusing on smaller fry. I am dealing with the air compressor and alternator right now. New lights. Adding the big electric fan. Sending off the first used oil for...

    Thanks Will! I guess I am still not understanding how hydraulics work, as well as I thought, lol. If a rated winch, say a Warn for 18,000lb, requires a higher PSI and GPM than the pump allows, wouldn't that reduce the rating and strength of pull, or speed? Just trying to have it make sense in...

    OK, so don't really know where to put this so it ends up being in the same thread as the rest here. I looked at my mounting options and talked with the mechanic who did the engine. There isn't really any room for more things to add on after I have added the air compressor off the alternator...

It might also be possible to run an auxiliary hydraulic off of a second pump. But I'd rather not if not needed expense...

    Thank you for the thoughtful reply. I had reached out to mile marker and unfortunately they weren't all that helpful. I am also glad to hear that it is in fact hard on the pump, which is what I had thought but mile marker assured me that it wouldn't effect the power steering pump or lines. I am...

    As for the shower system, lol I haven't figured all that out yet either... So I got myself a 30 plate stainless heat exchanger, and an American adventure water pump. I plan on having quick connect points for a hose to go to my pond (again this is for my Oregon spot, but allows us to enjoy...

    New to the forum, hello, this is my ride.

    I haven't figured it all out yet. However, I am thinking of having a hydraulic winch hooked up "inside" a bumper to a 2" receiver and a couple tractor grade quick disconnects. then I could pop the whole thing off and hook it to my receiver on the back and connect to the same lines. This way I...
