Default Winch

I have a 2000 lb Harbor Freight cheap winch ($49.99, Mod #68146) on the way. I want to mount it on a trailer for the occasional time I need to load a tractor or whatever. I plan on mounting it receiver style on the front tongue area of the trailer and powering off a deep cycle boat battery. I also have ideas about doing the same type receiver set up the front of a 1450. With the receiver set up I could move it from the trailer to the tractor when needed. Do you think the battery set up in the tractor could handle the amp draw? For those of you that have this done this before either with a trailer or a tractor, advice, pics, and ideas would be great.
Thanks

Default winch

I have used one of their winches for several years on lawn tractors and my cub 122 running off the battery and so far have not had any problems with charging system keeping up.

It depends on how much weight you're pulling, and for how long. That winch draws 100+ amps under full load, and the 1450 alternator outputs 15 amps. The winch can draw amps 6x faster than you can replace them.

I use my 122 for winching logs, so added a large marine deep cycle battery for the purpose. Works great, just have to make sure I run the tractor long enough to fully recharge the battery after hard use. http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/s...ighlight=winch

Check out Sam Mac's winch he has on his Super that raises and lowers his sleeve hitch.

The starter motor on the tractor doesn't even pull 100 Amps. And if it did pull 100 amps you would have to feed it with a wire that's bigger than the starter!! I seriously doubt that ATV WINCH pulls over about 30A on a bad day. Besides if it's made for an ATV, I promise the cadet's have a bigger charging system on them than any four wheeler. It will work fine.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
