GREAT CHAT, THANKS, I hope were helping the others with all this. Not a problem my friend, I figured you knew that, NOTICE I ADDRESSED MY COMMENT TO 2710 so he wouldnt think just "any" motor would suffice, because it simply, as Im sure you understand, will NOT.
My statement if modeled after yours to 2710 would read something more like:
In theory, you COULD use "almost" any size motor IF geared low enough SO LONG AS AND PROVIDED THAT it has enough HP to overcome the heat and friction loses of the winch just to turn it PLUSSSSSSSSSSSS enough additional HP to pull the actual load........
If you had a 1/20 HP hobby motor and I dont care if you tried to gear it down 100 to 1 or 1000 to 1, it may or may not even turn the winch let alone pull any load. IT TAKES X HP TO TURN ALL THOSE HEAVY GEARS. The gear reduction mechanism uses up some of the motors HP. Its true you may have more TORQUE by gearing down, but at the expense of RPM and HP is a function of Torque X RPM, you gain on one but loose on the other PLUS you get less out then you put in because the friction of the gears converts some of the input energy into wasted heat......
As an example, ever notice or wonder why old tractors were often rated as X HP on the Belt Pulley but LESS THEN X HP on the drawbar ?????? Thats beacsue it took HP to turn all those big heavy gears (friction heat loss) so you has LESS HP remaining on the drawbar.
Sure, most probably know what you meant and Im sure you understand the above, but hey if we can together by discusing this help 2710 or even one other person understand something about gear reduction and friction heat loss WE DID A GOOD JOB AND OUR GOOD DEED
Thanks again and God Bless you for all you do to help and contribute on here, I hope this helps other, but if not at least were havin fun lol

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
