Fellow listers:
I have gleaned that the M9XX series of 5 ton truck and
the wreckers in particular use hydraulics to run all
of their non-engine accessories ie winches due to
having automatic transmissions.
Can anyone tell me the spec's of the hydraulic pump in
terms of GPM flow and PSI pressure?
Also can anyone tell me the horsepower rating and
flow/pressure requirements of any of the hydraulic
winch motors for winches in the 20K to 40k lb range.
I have a 30K winch that I am trying to set up to power
hydraulicly but I am starting from scratch as to what
my power/fluid requirements are. I do not have the
line pull speed of the winch. Originally it was
driven via a chain sprocket off a PTO. I do not know
it's original application but it does have a
removeable goathead (horizontal capstan) and will
probably swallow about 300 ft of 5/8 cable easily.
Any help or info is greatly appreciated.
Brian
