      Kick start it for the first one, then use the energy of the blast to keep it going. Not only is the minefield cleared, we have infinite energy.

      two options:

      1. power it from the trailer electric hookup
      2. spool it from a winch on the front

        The trailer hookup wouldn’t be sufficient to handle that amp draw.

        You can add a PTO to most trucks, super easy if the platform is also used for tow trucks.

        I am concerned about the amperage draw on wires from the battery with that length of run, I guess an auxiliary battery in parallel could mitigate the risks.

          Use a wet kit with a pony motor, don’t even have to modify the truck.

            A PTO is still totally doable, the braketry is a bit of a bother, but you are making a tow hitch mine flail so finding a longer belt and laser cutting some metal is not undermountable.
