Hagen Brothers farms,Goodrich ND | I would guess you need deep cycle, as hoist operation may deplete the batteries enough to cause a medium deep cycle. Normal starting load on a cranking battery makes terrific amp loads (600-1500) for only a few seconds, then immediatly recharges. A deep cycle battery better takes a few hundred amps draw for a minute or more, then a slower recharge.
We just converted an old gooseneck grain trailer to a parade toy hauler. It has the electric over hydraulic hoist (300-400 amps?)and an 8000 pound winch that draws about 280 amps at full load. We fitted the trailer with a large (105 AH)TSC deep cycle flooded cell battery. It seems to handle raising the bed about 30 degrees and winching a 6-7000 pound tractor on it taking about a minute on the winch. loading / unloading the tractor twice leaves the battery at about 75-80 % charge.
