P1000 Dual Battery/winch question?

[ncognet0]

I learned the hard way that winching while moving is a no no as I was winching a bull elk up a tree this hunting season. After burning out my clutch. I have since realized that I need a dual battery install. My question is once I add the dual battery system will I need to change any wiring with my winch? Its obviously wired into the original system.

Just move the positive and negative over to the second battery.


Were you holding pressure with the throttle in reverse while winching instead of holding the brakes?

Yes sir, I was doing it the dumb way (I later learned).

I’m curious also. Can you explain how that occurred incognet0 ?

Was winching a bull elk up a tree and backing up and using my winch at the same time. I later learned not to use the winch and move or you will fry the clutch.

Let the winch do the work when you can.

Been several people have tried to hold the machine on a hill, or however, by holding a light throttle. When you do, something is slipping.... Its your clutches.
It doesn't take long for them to get hot, then there tost.

I hear you loud and clear now lol. I think two batteries will also help. The mechanic told me that they fry in about 15 seconds when you do what I was doing.

To be clear, yes, the clutch would fry. Reverse is a higher gear than low, at least in the '21 and earlier Pioneers, so the clutch is already at a disadvantage. It'd be like backing up to a brick wall and then giving it the gas!

Holding the breaks is good. Worth considering, if ground is loose or traction is an issue or pulling a heavy load, would be to tie the back of the machine to a stationary object, chock the wheels etc.

Having two batteries is a good idea, especially if you are ever in a situation where you need to winch but can't run the engine to provide a bit of help with the current load (though the alternator only has something like 50 amps available, and that's with the RPM's up, not at idle! Also, the winch can draw over 200 amps at near full load, so having the winch on the Aux battery, with a True (or similar) dual battery management system ,means you won't likely leave yourself in a lurch, unable to start the engine.
