where is the link to the receiver you bolted onto your trailer?
That’s cool, one winch to rule them all!
I would like to have a 12k winch but just don’t want to spend any more on it at the moment
Thanks for watching
I set mine set up years ago on a receiver but it's a heavy duty hand cranker ( Back in the day )..it worked alot better when I was younger , ha ha...now that I'm in my 60s an electric winch looks darn good !!
You did a real good job showing how to do it
Thanks Brock

Electric definitely saves the old back.
Thanks for watching
If you are adding a battery and solar panel and winch, you should also consider adding 2 led pod lights to help load a dead vehicle with no lights and to help light it up for strapping down a load in the dark.
Agreed.
I think I will do that
Great setup Brock.👍
Thanks
Nice addition to the trailer! That will save many a cuss word!
Thanks for posting
It should definitely be handy
Thanks for watching
I’m not even 5 minutes into the video adding this comment. Great explanation, well put together video, what a way to get straight to the point.
I just purchased a 20ft PJ car hauler and 12k lbs winch. I have little understanding about the charging system. After fast forwarding thru unnecessary footage in the 1st 10 videos I watched, this one is quite interesting. I’ll update later with results.
That winch is going to come in very handy as it already has. Great idea to make it versatile for the trailer, truck and tractor! 👍
*Keep on tractoring!*
I think you’re right. Thanks for watching
Great Job Brock👍 Glad to see you back in action take care 👨🏭🚜💨💡
Thanks
Nice setup, I thinking about putting one on my trailer.
Should definitely come in handy.
Thanks for watching
Cool !! Thanks Mister.
Nice and simple!! Love it!
Thanks
I plan to eventually add a removable winch to my new trailer so there's good food for thought here...very informative! Thanks!!! 👍😎👍
Thanks for watching
Nice project video, Brock! Thanks for taking the time and effort to put it together.
This was fun and should come in handy.
Thanks for watching
Brock my friend, you are a Genius! With just "One Winch" your total Outfit is fully Equiped. Have a 22' hydraulic tilt deck trailer & it should of had a winch on it for the last 4 years. The silly thing "assends" to the sky at a 32° angle & is 9.5 feet high, and your tutorial could solve my loading procedure in inclement weather. Thanks for the great Video Sir and happy safe trailering.
Thanks
It is handy having a portable winch
Thanks for watching
We did the same thing but with a 12000 lb and instead of a battery box set up we bought a dump trailer power cable kit and a permanent lumper cable set up and wired the truck front and back along with are tractor and a 4 ft cable to the winch Cables are just like what you used so all we to do is slide it into the receiver on the truck tractor or trailer and plug it in. The best thing I ever did
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for your video 🎉
Nice winch.
On all my trailers I always have set up a Philips single pin power plug to run thick power wiring directly from my truck battery to the trailer battery. Most commercial truck/trailer sales will have the wires/pigtails/plugs. This way, you never have to worry about running your trailer battery down under load, as the truck alternator keeps it fully charged.
Also an add on remote winch controller is well worth it.
Have a great day.
Sounds like a good set up.
Thanks for watching
I like it, keep us up to date on how it's working out for you or any changes.
Will do. Thanks for watching
More gadgets! Love it!
Yes sir. In this case trying to use what I already have in a new way.
Thanks for watching
Really good! ❤
I bought a Harbor Fright 12000 winch years ago I use for pulling trees out of the woods. The wireless remote was one of the best things I added. That would help on your trailer. Sit in the tractor and run the winch with the remote !
I need to get one
Thanks for sharing
I'm thinking about getting one of those, reviews seem to be great with them. Did you go with the steel or synthetic rope version?
@@boobletownbobby9255 mine was steel when I got it and that was horrible. Put a rope on it so much better. Had to drill out the hole in the winch drum to fit the rope. When this rope dies I will get another rope. Cable sucked.
Thanks for the info Rod
I have 1 of each type and haven’t had any problems with either yet
Good stuff.
I like your setup. 👍🏽🤠 05/30/24
great video
Nice. I love those worn heavy duty quick disconnects. A lot of my four wheeling friends use them we make jumper cable extensions and heavy duty compressor cables and I’ll kinds of stuff, they’re really convenient.
Good works tractors mentioned your Channel so I thought I’d check it out
Yeah, that was awesome of Courtney to shout out my channel. I’ve enjoyed his videos for a long time.
I do a lot of tractor work and tractor modification videos but also a variety of other work I do on the property
Thanks for watching
I think all of us took it for granted that we would have a new video to watch everyday from Brock. Now we suffer lol. I’m sure you heard good works tractor giving you a shout out today. I predict you surpass his subscriber count this year…
Yeah, I did a video a day for almost all of this year. I’ve cut back to about three per week right now but I’m excited for when spring hits and the tractor work picks back up
I’m an ambitious guy but I would be shocked if I passed good Works tractor. That guy puts out great content
It was awesome getting a shout out from him. I did not expect it
Thanks for supporting the channel
great job and great video, ima gonna do the same thing, but ima gonna put a gusset in and put the pin hole vertical
🏆🏆🏆👍🇺🇲🙏
I added the Warn wireless winch controllers to my trailer winches (~$140), so I can pull and steer, or pull while someone else steers. I can only use my right hand, due to a stroke.
They make a Warn HUB. It's Bluetooth to your phone. You can run the winch with your smartphone, and monitor battery voltage and line tension, too.
Thank you for sharing

Look into the Harbor Freight winch. We've got a 12k pound one that We've heavily abused for years now. Had it shut down from over heating(literally pouring water to keep it cool) dragging a lifted jeep Cherokee out of a 6ft creek ditch. It's dragged plenty of trucks up the bar style ramps with the wheels locked up. And it still keeps going. If you get lucky and find a return/open box you might can get it 50% off too. I was a diehard Warren guy until we got it. I still am with my bumper mounted one that I use very often, but for a trailer/tractor winch... I'll be going with the Harbor Freight one from now on.
Thanks for sharing
If I buy another one it will probably be from harbor freight. I probably will too. I would rather be running a 12,000 pound winch
@@RockhillfarmYT they're cheap and I probably wouldn't use one constantly, but I'd definitely buy them for a trailer winch again. We just have a receiver on the trailers and cables that reach to the truck batteries. Not ideal, but saves buying 4 deep cycles and the charging system for them.
I have used this winch a few times on my other trailer and just ran the cable up.
4 battery setups would add up. Kind of what I was saying about having multiple winches. Might acquire them over time
Thanks for sharing
Looks like a great solution! I purchased a lightweight aluminum trailer and wish the frame was strong enough to mount a winch to the front of it.
The weight savings on that aluminum trailer would come in handy though
thanks for watching
That's good as far as went but I was hoping you'd show how you set up a selinoid and controller with is where I'm lost
Just seen GoodWorks gave you a shout out. Great video! Hope all is well.
It was great to see that shoutout
Thanks for watching
Nice job, and great setup Brock. I've tried using 5w panels and they've always let me down, even when left alone for a long time. I hope the 7w panel works well. (I love my 15w & 20w panels)
My fuel tank pumps have a 5w and a mower battery. That has been working but I just don’t use them often
Warn makes a Bluetooth winch module that doesn't require any cutting splicing or anything. Wireless right from your phone so you can steer.
Why you gotta yell. 😂😂 awesome videos
Good Works Tractor threw out a great shout-out to You at 15:45 on His Genius Tractors fifth wheel attachment video this morning.
Yes sir. I saw that and it was unexpected
I have followed his channel since before I ever started mine so it was very cool to me
Oops 14:45
You may want to heat shrink or electrical tape the male female sae connectors on the panel. Same connector used on my rv awning. Shorts out easily.
Thanks for sharing
I'm thinking about putting a waterproof box in the back of my truck, with a battery to feed a wench.
I have a question for u! I have a 12k badlands winch, I bought a marine battery and connected the to winch! Now my thing why does it melt the postive post bolt. Have u ever had done too u???
My question to u has your winch ever get hot enough that the postive melt the coating and postive bolt off a marine battery. Thats my problem and i need to figure something out so it wont do that
Just get a Ryobi log splitter 😂
I have thought of doing this but always thought I would run cables to the back of the truck. I am curious, did you think there would be too much electrical lost doing that?
No, I have dual batteries and dual alternators so it would’ve been fine. I just didn’t want to run the cord or have it hanging back there
The truck has a 400 W plug-in in the bed but I don’t think that’s enough power for the winch
@@RockhillfarmYT understandable
Been about two years, What are your thoughts long term? I am planning on doing the solar charge for my battery/winch set up as well. Great video by the way.
I don’t use it that often but when I need it, it’s been handy
I like this idea, but how heavy is that thing to lug around?
Just a guess, probably close to 100 pounds.
You can buy the harbor freight winches, if you’re not using it all that often
Now that is a year later are you still running this setup? what size battery did you use? I bought a 25w panel. this was a great setup.
Yes, still using it. Although I only maybe use it once every couple months
The battery is always up
@@RockhillfarmYT How has the harbor freight regulator held up? any issues with over charge? good panel charge? we will be using our winch a few times a week.
I wonder if the seven plug wire charging system would work if you just got a female connector and put it on the trailer wire to the solar panel. So when you park the trailer you can just unplug from your bumper and plug it into that female plug on the trailer and it would automatically charge through that connection. That’s also a good way to keep your seven pin connector out of the dirt and out of the weather. Then when you hook it up to the vehicle vehicle can go ahead and charge it which is probably going to be a little faster but when you don’t have a vehicle you would be connected to the solar panel. 🤔
Sounds like it would work. If I’m not using the winch very often I think it’ll work like it is. If I started using it more I might need a better charging system
@@RockhillfarmYT I just like the idea of keeping the battery well-maintained. It sounds like you use it enough to keep a good charge on it though. But I also kind of like the idea of having a plug up under there or somewhere out of the weather so when my trailer is disconnected that seven pin plug is kind of protected and off the ground and out of the weather. Either way the way you’re hooking it up it’s still gonna work and you don’t have to worry about it. :)
I’d love to have a box exactly like the one on my dump trailer. It does keep the cord inside the box
Might check some local trailer manufactures. It would just require a little bit of fab work to attach it
@@RockhillfarmYT that would be awesome. You might be able to find a toolbox or something that’s weatherproof that would fit on there and be able to drill a couple holes.
I see your mirror is way out of adjust, I mounted mine the same way ,wood go out of adjustment every time I closed the door, ended up putting it on cab frame.
Yeah, I almost forget it has mirrors because I never aim them.
It would be better to have them mounted on the cab frame
