Don’t forget you MUST HAVE an overload clutch or shear pin system built into the PTO system or you WILL overload the winch and brake cable etc very quickly, if you tell me the gear ratio and drum diameter I will tell you the max input toque in lbf, remember the 1000rpm pto is a ~2.2:1 and the 540rpm pto is ~4:1 vs. flywheel torque rating, so you have between 640lbf and 1280lbf at the pto output and about 105hp

No due to the braking system on the winch and the lack of mounting space behind the tranny I have to have the gear trane on the drivers side.
The winch is a Ramsey's H-800 (
http://www.ramsey.com/industrial/h-800.html )with a drum dia. of 5.69" and a ratio or 40:1.
I wonder if the "roller" tranny could take the torque required?
Anyone in the B.C. are know of a equipment wrecker I might be able to fine one of the "roller" trannys at?
Thanks
