    Seems like a fair deal. I'd want to verify whether that the PTO is for a CJ, or clocked for a truck.

    What pulling capacity were these winches rated at?

    It will move anything that is loose at both ends and do it all day.

    8000# officially.

    PTO winches like this have seemingly limitless capacity. The mounting, and the cable/rope are the realistic limits. I’ve seen one completely rip off the front mount/bumper and winch assy. from the chassis. In this case, he was the primary winch vehicle pulling a flooded vehicle out of the surf (on the beach). Two more vehicles were tied together in-line as anchor vehicles.
    Breaking the “suction” of the vehicle part buried in wet sand was way more than everyone anticipated. The PTO winch didn’t care!

    I've done the calcs & at full rated line pull @ the rated speed a Ramsey 200 draws about 4 - 5 HP. I managed to stall my engine out last summer resulting in a (slightly) bent fairled & bumper and some stretched grade 8 1/2" bolts that were securing the tow hook the cable was connected to. :(

    I now have a shear pin in the PTO drive shaft. :sneak:

    That's interesting because the warn 8274 went to a 4.5hp motor. The single direction uprights were only 2hp

    Interesting. I just picked up a used electric-hybrid Ramsey 200, and the amp rating converts to....4.5 HP.

    Coincidence? :D

    I wonder what the B120 winch comes out to o_O
    That thing will definitely need a shear pin
