This is actually for my work truck, but i thought you expo guys might be able to help.
So i found a 18k lb warn 24v winch locally for cheap to go on my 97 f350 that i use for my tree business. It is heavy and likes to get stuck. I have had to use a double line pull twice now with the 12k winch i have. This truck is usually about 10k without a load, and probably up to or more than 16k with a load of chips or wood in the bed.
So far the only and best way i can figure is to run a second pair of batteries in series and a second 24v alternator. I would also consider upgrading my electric motor on the dump bed to 24v as well. Is there another way to do this? Would i be better off just saving to buy a 12v winch? I kno by the time i buy more batteries, alternator, etc i've gotten close to spending the same money, but for a system that will be used nearly every day (pulling trees too) i feel its worthwhile.
What do yall think? Thanks.
