I picked up a winch that I'll be using to pull dirt out of my basement. So now I need to power it.
It is a one horse motor- 2000lb capacity.
So I won't be working the thing real hard. What are some thoughts on how to power it.
I've thought of a marine battery- and trickle charge overnight. I have the charger. Would have to buy the battery.
I've thought of a transformer. Have no idea what size or what they cost.
I've got an old riding mower with a bad transmission. Seems like overkill, but it has a good 8hp motor on it, and charges the little battery - so I think I could just run it off that battery when the motor is running.
Or I could pull the Impala around to the side of the house and tap into that 12v system.
What sounds like a feasible plan?
Thanks, Jim
