Can I really use this on my tractor?

Yes. Most modern tractors have hydraulic outlets at the front or rear. The TORO 22,000lb is designed to connect to these systems. It’s a popular choice for farmers and forestry workers who need a "bulletproof" winch that won't drain their battery.

Why is this better than an electric winch for my trailer?

If you are loading and unloading heavy plant machinery multiple times a day on a Faymonville trailer, an electric winch will eventually get too hot and stop working. The TORO doesn't have that problem. Because it uses hydraulic oil, it stays cool and delivers the same 10-tonne power on the 10th pull as it did on the 1st.

Will it fit in the tight space on my trailer bed?

Yes. This is the "Compact" version of the TORO. We’ve specifically chosen this model because it has a smaller footprint, making it much easier to install on trailer necks or between chassis rails where space is tight.

Is it easy to maintain?

Extremely. Because it doesn't have an electric motor or complex wiring, there is very little to go wrong. As long as you keep the wire rope clean and check your hydraulic connections for leaks, this winch is built to last for years in the harshest conditions.
