    not sure what you are trying to do with what size winch but I have a 10k military winch and was going to put a hyd drive on it and use it off the back of a tractor for pulling logs up out of the woods reason I wanted to go hyd was 1 it lets u reverse the winch while under load and 2 should also make a brake for it as when the valve is shut it should hold the winch
