Re: Any one Have a Winch on your Cart

As for the battery, I have made my stock engine idle, and according to the battery meter I have,the starter is charging the battery. I just leave the cart idling while running the winch and have had no problems yet. As for a cart with no engine running, I would say your alright for brief pulls. I wouldnt keep running the winch constantly without running the engine alittle bit. I think two batteries is a waste of weight, and then either you will need to get a bigger on board charger or you will have to plug it in at night. What happens if you forget to plug it ahead of time and your battery goes out and night in the woods? Just my two cents... |

Re: Any one Have a Winch on your Cart
The pull rating (3000lb) starts with no cable on the spool and decreases as the spool fills up. If you do some real comparing and get into how much pull the winch has with more than 1 or 2 even 3 layers of cable on them you'll see the 3000lb winch falls off rather quick almost to the point of a 2000lb winch as far as rated pull. I don't know why they do, I figure it must be because of the gearing used in them. I looked at many many pull line rating charts comparing the differences, all the different winch makers have these charts that show the pull capacity as the spool fills up.
This might sound a little out there but If I was hooking a winch to a 36v sparky I think I would try a 2000lb and hook it up to the whole pack, that is unless you add a big deep cycle battery. The 2000lb will use less power (big consideration for a battery powered cart) and should be enough to get you out most anything. I'm guessing it shouldn't be a problem to run it off 36v for short periods of time, most all dc motors can handle higher voltages without to much problems. They work better the more volts you put to them they just tend to over heat if run to long, at 36v I don't think it would take long to reel in the cable though Maybe someone can enlighten me as to why this shouldn't work, if i had an electric cart I would try it. |
