Okay have been going through lots of cable ratings lately and think I may have an idea on what's with the tags being different, the working load limit or wll on 3/4 16-9 hemp core wireline is NOT 45,000 or even close, so I believe someone is trying to cya and list the correct wll of 14,500lbs...
Okay got to pull a different wrecker with rear winch, worked great. It worked better than tagged. It was rated 25000 and 45000 blocked. So now I think I might want 936 :cookoo:
Not what I said
The winches are the same, I don't know if the pumps are the same, I have both winches only difference is the sprocket on the winches and how the chain is driven.
Only thing is Ron I see way more of the lighter weight plates like 10 to 1 and it would back up me trying to pull a 931 tractor on flat ground that is covered in rocks and it tried to move but didn't. But thanks for the info on the pumps if I get the chance I will try the same move with the...
Okay soon as I posted that I knew that nobody would catch that I was talking about two different ratings on two of the same trucks, I use these everyday and understand snatch blocks. Okay to clear up this thread I am looking at two M 936's on one it says 14,500 single line, 22,500 with single...
Something new, just noticed not all 936's have the rear winches rated the same treessw truck is rated 25000 and 45000 with snatch block. Why the difference?:cookoo:
Have only tried one but I have worked enough different winches to gage roughly :cookoo:how much pull I am getting. I also know how how much the trucks I pull weighs, so I believe it was bypassing at the listed rates on the plates.
Believe the bypass valves would be what would need to be adjusted on the m-936 but how would a regular mechanic know how much adjustment to do without lots of trial and error and exspencive parts. Have generally thought that a hydraulic setup could keep up with a pto or at least close but why...
Okay I have been lusting over m-936 trucks for awhile, then got to use and work on some and I am not impressed with the winches front and rear at all compared to my M-816. Some of you will say I overload my pto winches but I quit that some time ago (exploding winches are not fun) but I do expect...
