I want to mount the winch on my john deere garden tractor and use it to lift a snow plow approx. 12 inches and lower it. can i use this winch?

Winch works on any 12v battery, so if you can design a mount for the winch, you can use it as long as system is 12v.

I'm not exactly familiar with Warn winch setups but my 12,000lb badlands winch fits it beautifully. It fits my hands just fine but it is an extremely heavy rig. (About 125lbs). I've used it multiple times with no problems or hangups with the feeder configuration.

I did not mount it to Tractor. I use it on a trailer. I would think if you are asking about a three point hookup...make a platform for tractor that will hook into the 3-point locations. Good Luck

Although this mounts to the frame, I would not recommend trying to modify it for a winch, as it would take extreme modifications and it probably would not have the necessary structural integrity . Besides there is really no room for a winch tray to mount it to. You might try the Westin HDX winch mount, or the Westin Sportsman winch mount systems. If you have any further inquiries, feel free to contact us. info@truckfinity.com Thanks.

In my opinion, yes you can!! You can test this yourself, if the tiller seems to slow down under small loads, the wire is too small!!

what would concern me first is the amount of current the winch would draw. you can go direct to the battery only using power from 2 batteries to give you the 12 volts needed to power the winch. I hope this helps you.

I put a no-name 12,000 lb winch on it no problem and it worked great! You shouldn't have any issue with the Warn Model M8000.

We have this for our jeeps and my daughter's lifted GMC 2500 for changing tires. Hi lift jack used for times we are stuck and no anchor point for the winch. We have 35's on two of the vehicles. 31's on one of the jeeps.

The issue would be how the cables would be ran. To use it as an additional winch you would need another cable and it would be in the way.

We use the winch to hoist bears up for skinning . Could be used for lifting engine blocks or a big mower to sharpen blades .Any time you have a ceiling or a tree limb you can lift what ever you need . Just remember if you can lift it ,it can fall .Be safe BLOCK it.

Yes it can. I use it behind my 25HP lawn tractor and behind my ATV. It has the standard hitch that lawn implements use.

NO! The extension is rated for less than your winch, and the extension would increase the side loading WAAAAY too much.

Rick, I wish I could help you out but I have the 12,000 pound winch. It fits like a glove. I would imagine unless there are other sizes available it would fit, but would hate to steer you in the wrong direction. I did have to make a couple of long cables to hook the winch up to the battery from the rear mount FYI Good luck

It woul work with any size tractor. Once you start to pull, the grubber grabs tighter. The harder you pull, the tighter it grabs. Your limitation will be how big of a stump you can pull. The type of tree also determines whether or not you can pull it. If it has shallow horizontal roots, it is much easier than with something that has a taproot. I have a 33 horse tractor and it pulls 3-4" trees all day if the right kind but will struggle with a taproot. Bottom line... It was well worth the purchase as I have cleared the pathes I intended to. I just ha to use my chain saw and a shovel every now and then.

We installed one on a Honda 4x4 ATV 500cc, using the Swisher Universal mount and it raises almost over the line of the front weel... nearly 16".... It wont turn your ATV in a miny tractor but it sure makes a whole lot easier to carry dirt to fill in in roads, remove manure from a corral, and stuf like that.

...don't be so sure! I'm 6-4 and on my John Deere 828D, ended up mounting the clamps on the horizontal bar on the back side of the blower....had to stoop to be in the enclosure and ended up taking the unit off so that I could finish snowblowing without getting a backache!....all depends on which unit you have and where you can mount the clamps.

I've pulled other ATV 4-wheelers out of some fairly crappy spots. It's only rated for 1500 pounds and I've tugged nearly 1000 pounds with mine. For an inexpensive winch they work good but they're not bullet proof.
