The main argument against Hydraulic winches seems to be speed. The pressure from your power steering pump is aqequate, it's the flow rate that is too low. I can't see a reason against putting a second pump in parallel with your primary one and using that when winching.
Has anyone played much with making Hydraulic winches operate at more normal speeds? Or seen numbers on flow rates?
Thanx
Paul

we can build one to suit your wildest dreams but the parts are very expensive, and most winch guys would rather spend $500 twenty times over than do it right the first time.
A complete comp winch package would start around the $14000 mark, but that gives you 40-50m/min @ full load ~12000lb (adjustable to 25000lb).
Compared to a std high mount ~2m/min at ~8000lb.

I must admit - i am kinda thinking off the shelf ox or milemarker or similar and up the input flow rate with a belt driven pump - posssibly power steering from something else in parallel with factory. I can't get a PTO output on the 100 Series. Maybe some other type of hydraulic part off something industrial.
It is for a road car, but I want to find a middle ground.

You can buy modified Milemarker winch in the UK called the Type R. It will do 100 ft per min in low gear at 9000lbs and 600 ft per min in high gear at 1500lbs. Cost is 1900 pounds and will bolt on to a Rover. Search for world fastest winch should find it.
A standard Superwinch or Come-Up/Premier hydraulic will do just under 100 ft per min.
