only bad thing Ihave heard about the hydraulic mile marker set up was an article in one ofthe offroad magazines. They did a comparison using a milemarker set up. I dont know if it was with the stock PS pump or a mile marker pump. but reapeated use on the trail resulted in overheating and the failure of the winch to keep up. tghe hotter it got the less it worked. the electric Warn won the comparison. I believe if one were to use a commericial hydraulic pump nad drive on a braden that would not happen. personaly I think having the mechanical PTO combined with an electric on the rear as a back up is the best scenario. nothing beats the strenght of the PTO but if engine dies in water the electric comes in handy!
