Description

The W8L winch is a Power Forward (LINE-IN) and Power
Reverse (LINE-OUT) winch used on tractors with a
constant running power takeoff (PTO). The winch utilizes
a Self Contained Hydraulic (SCH) system where all
hydraulic power is produced inside the winch case.
The W8L winch has a BRAKE-OFF function, which
permits the wire rope to be pulled from the drum. A
FREESPOOL function is available as an option on the
W8L winch.
The W8L winch has a rated line pull capacity of 355,480
N (80,000 lbf) when there is one layer of wire rope on
the drum.
