pto winch
i have a 79 bronco with a 351, c6, and np205. i'm looking for a pto winch for it but can't find one. does anyone know if there is one for my bronco or if all are a universal fit? also, about how much would one be. thanks for any help.

They will pull harder the more you rev your engine, and are much stronger than a electric winch, but like kemical said, if your engine won't start your stuck.
What do you plan on useing your bronco for? Rocks, mud, ???

People tell me to put a winch on my truck, but I can't justify spending that much money on somthing I'll never use(I mud ride in fields all the time, and there isn't a tree around to winch too)
It's up to you on setting up a winch, but if you don't have anything to winch to, then it's useless.

i've had my truck, 85 f150, in deeper than i care to remember. its been in lakes, rivers, really deep mud. i haven't had problems with it though. i haven't tried this bronco yet. only thing i don't like is its carbed and not efi like my truck. so most of you are saying stick with an electric?

P.D.: Stick to an electric if the winch isn´t mean to work (like in a crane).

Encho, IF I get my truck stuck, I will need alot more than a unstuck truck to pull to. I've seen other trucks just like mine stuck and contected to a unstuck truck, and the unstuck truck just gets pulled to the stuck truck every time.
reecem13, you can try asking a question in offroad forum, electrical, hydrolic, or possibly pto.

just an idea for the field mudding. i just saw on the history channel how the marines used to pull their DUCW s out of the sand using their winch and an anchor that they burried. might work in the mud too. who knows? maybe a big anchor would be perfect

96eddie5.8, that would be the only thing that would work, but it is a big messy process, and I'd rather have one of my buddys pull me out(quicker and easyier, but if your alone, and you have a winch and no body to help, then the anchor are a spaire tire would work.
