not that I want one Jon but they are an excellent scraper winch.far better than both the cat types.Have run this type before on 135 and 155 tractors.Geoddis of Arbroath had a 155A with a cat ccu on and a D8K with a kommie ccu....

Yes Nick that is what i was told.The clutch plates run in oil and dont suffer from over heating and they are very powerful.I have never actualy used one,it was my intention to put it on to my D8K but i dont imagine i will ever get round to it.Think i will just stick with a 29.Not much scraper work around at the moment to justify all the messing around with levers adapter plates and shafts.Hope it will be of use to someone.

Is thay one you've got hydraulic assist Jon? When I worked for Steve Burgess he had a normal one on an 85 and I could n't use it. He near pulled me out of the cab before I set the thing on fire once! After that I helped him put a hydraulic assist one on it.............then he sold it!!!!! :shock: Ah well..... :doh:

Mr Burgess reckoned they were the thing to have! :lol: They beat the standard Komatsu winch hands down apparently. :thumbup:
