matching pto HP to winchNewbie here. I got a stronger tractor than needed and am finding high HP gearbox implements are much more expensive. But I am told to match the implement to the Pto Hp otherwise I will blow the implement gearbox. Above I see woodfarmers 90Hp tractor coupled to the JL501 which specs as Max. 60 HP. Question is where will I get into trouble if I cheap out and find a smaller [used] winch than my tractor will drive? I think the JL501 will winch anything I desire and the tractor has no issues hauling anything behind it. I have about 80 Pto Hp on a TK100 crawler. If I run at low rpm to reduce Hp then I presume my winch speeds will be super slow? Am running into same issues on Bush Hog type mower implements. 80Hp puts me into an entirely different category and cost. I don't see many used Farmi's as it is and I definitely haven't seen any JL60's in the West.Please advise of any workarounds such as slip clutch shear pin solution? Is there such a thing as a gearbox reducer?/Rick
