Curious on drum size to rope amount. I would want a minimum 3k feet...More? Drum would ride in the 6’-5” bed of a Tundra.

Brackets would need to be fabricated probably. I would want to be able to remove drum and hardware at the end of the season.

Ideas on best way to set a stop or brake on the drum wheel for pulling. Then winding up slack line, crank handle I imagine.

Off season project..,. 😎




Beaver,

One of the coolest setups I've seen was posted on iFish a few years back. Dude took an old Honda ATC, 110cc if IIRC, and made a winch out of it with a big spool of wire rope. Essentially infinite duty cycle.

If I can find the details, I'll send them.
