Frequently asked questions
Questions about the Mechanical winch type
-
What is a mechanical winch / chain winch?
The mechanical winch, also called chain-wheel winch, is driven by the PTO, without its own hydraulics. It is lighter, cheaper and almost maintenance-free. Sensible for tractors without a hydraulic system or for infrequent use.
-
What is the difference between mechanical and electro-hydraulic?
Mechanical: directly from the PTO, no hydraulics needed. Electro-hydraulic: own pump + hydraulic valves, enables remote, rope unwinding and SBS. If you want comfort and one-man work, choose electro-hydraulic. If you want simple and cheap, choose mechanical.
-
Can the M series be retrofitted with remote control?
No. The M series has no hydraulic system. but remote needs a pump and hydraulic valves. Anyone who wants remote control needs an SA or Q winch.
-
Do I need hydraulics on the compact tractor for a winch?
With the mechanical type: no, the winch runs entirely off the PTO. With the electro-hydraulic type: also no, the winch brings its own hydraulics. You only need power (12 V) and the PTO.
-
