    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.

          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.

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

          I was thinking of driving it hydraulically, is that what a wet it is?
