About a year ago I did the same thing. I put a 2" receiver on my front weight bracket and use that position to pull trees across creeks and ravines leaving the rear for skidding logs. I also put a 150 amp circuit breaker near the battery and made an extension to run from the front to the rear when needed. I use the this power tap to run other things like a dump trailer and a crane for loading 1000lb. Logs onto my splitter. Woks like a champ. Let me know if you need photos. Cheers!

Depending on how much you're pulling out cable wise, it's probably a good idea to leave it running when using it. Those things are rough on a battery when they're strained. Not sure on the new ones, but the older ones you have to pull the cable all the way out and "pack wind" it back up under tension to keep it from trying to bird nest. I typically just drag the truck in up a slight hill and hand feed the wire evenly back in.

Consider switching the cables, put the short ones on the battery and the long ones on the winch. Less mess under the hood, and the longer cable with the winch may reach the receiver if you want to mount it on the truck rear. You could buy another coupler for the unused cables and mount those to your truck battery. I've had 8000# and 9000# Warns on a Jeep and 5 pickups set up like that. Have a smaller one setup that way for my John Deere 1025r with receivers for the 3 point hitch and my pallet fork attachment on the front.

Using receiver hitches for mounting my 12,000# winch to my pickup truck is exactly what I did .They sell receiver hitches for the front of the truck frame as well as the rear. I only needed to build a special offset drawbar adapter to lift the winch up higher in the front so it was not too low. Now I can remove it or put it on when I need to. BTW , I went to NAPA and bought 4 of the blue 175 amp battery connectors and enough 2 gauge welding cable off ebay to run the power out the front grille and to the rear bumper. Made the rear one long enough that I can also use it for the winches on my flat bed trailers. I also set up my 2018 Silverado with dual batteries and a battery isolator solenoid that is on in start and run key positions. Grounding the power connectors to the frame and batteries is very tricky and important here on the new trucks or it won't see the power load of the winch and not charge the batteries correctly.
@RockhillfarmYT3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for sharing The Ram 2500 I ordered has dual alternators I will set it up for the truck when it gets here
@2009mechanic3 жыл бұрын
I figured out how to add the dual battery setup years ago on these new GM trucks WITHOUT causing unintended electrical issues in the last 3 GM trucks I've owned. I've never had to add a second or upgrade the OEM alternators in mine. The reserve of that second battery is what does it. First thing to do is upgrade the sizes of all the NEGATIVE battery cables from the battery to the engine block #2AWG and from the battery to the vehicle frame #4AWG. Both negative cables must go through the current transformer loop by the battery. BOTH of the battery cables for the second battery must be brought to the primary battery and hooked in there. Do NOT ground the second battery anywhere else. It creates a ground loop and messes up the negative battery cable current transformer and it won't charge correctly. I pulled my negative battery feed to the winch connectors right from the drivers side of the engine block. Also ran a #2AWG jumper from the drivers side frame to the engine block as well. The isolation solenoid is installed in the POSITIVE cable near the primary battery. It is triggered from an unused pin in the distribution block under the dash next to the Ebrake pedal that is hot in the start and run positions only. My system has been in 3 trucks so far and works great.

Gm has a really wierd charging system algorythm. They monitor total battery draw and/or charging through the negative cables. They monitor system voltage. The monitor outside ambient air temps. They monitor alternator or underhood air temps. I had to do a lot of research on this before I actually did it. Didn't want to void their warranty. GM was of no help. They said if it wasn't engineered and built that way , it shouldn't be modified. I had to figure it out.

Agreed. I saw people putting little Winchs on their tractors that wouldn’t pull half of what the tractor could and I thought I was going Overkill at 8000 pounds. I was wrong. If I was buying again I would get a 12,000 pound winch. The winch I have Pulls harder than the tractor Which I have demonstrated on a couple of videos. However if the tractor is getting any traction it will pull probably 80% of what the winch will Sometimes it’s a little frustrating that this one still won’t do what I want it to If the tractor is parked with the emergency brake on my winch will drag the tractor across the ground so I have to block the tires but I would still go 12 K
@briancarpenter82973 жыл бұрын
Nice winch setup! One thing to note, you should not run the winch cable around something and hook it back to itself. It is very bad for hook to be pulling sideways on the cable like that. You will want to carry a sling for when you need to go around an object like that, then clip the hook to the sling. A length of chain with a grab hook can also be used to create a loop to hook to.

The battery and alternator can handle the draw?
@RockhillfarmYT3 жыл бұрын
My answer would be that it depends on how you are using it. If you do a couple pulls and then operate the tractor for an hour and then do a couple more pulls then I’d say you’re good to go. If you are constantly pulling logs for an hour I could see the possibility of running the battery down. That’s exactly what they told me about the trickle charge on my dump trailer. The charge from the truck is not designed to keep up with constant operation but if you drive in between loads it will do fine The answer I just gave is an opinion. When I do a follow up video on this set up a month from now I will have a verified answer
