Logging Winch

[arrow]

You are right.I work in steep terrain but also in rather leveled forest .However I work mostly on my own and do about 25 chord firewood per year and another 750 Chord of milling wood. The winch was essential for me.
Will also buy a grapple from them .
I needed a hydraulic independant from the tractor and a remote.
The hydraulic system doesn't drag my tractor power down .

It tokk my 6 month of research until I found the right one
All about I couldn't afford Farmi and also the other guys.

So I stared searching in Europe and came across the guys I bought from here in the US.

I am happy with my choice

775 cord of wood! Do you mean full cords? If so I'd place you in skidder territory especially if you have a 500 acre site. A half mile turn on a compact tractor can get mighty tiring. I'd want at least a cord and a half to two cord on every hitch. I worked as a logger and 15 (full) cords per day for a lone guy with a full blown skidder was a good day on a hundred acre site. I stayed in the Black Hawk region of Colorado some years ago. Very big area with gorgeous, mountainous forests and for some reason, very attractive to hippies. Good luck with your very fine winch.

Yes it is .This makes it hard to fing good people .Potheads in the wood don't do well.

Yes tha's why I use this big winch with attached grapple. I cuts my work in half.
I can drag 8 trees with this big winch.

Big skidders are not allowed because they don't like their wood torn up.

A weekend ago I cut on a site 200 trees with two sawyers in 3.5 hours. Just cutting -no limbing. But that's what I need form a worker.

A great photo op if you ask me. Would love to see your rig. There was a restaurant that i cannot remember the name of I'd go to up there. It had sort of an enclosed porch with large windows and sat on a hillside sort of perched up from the parking lot. Across the street was a large sign that said "Black Hawk National forest" or something to that effect. Many hippies in this restaurant. Near the bottom of the ravine was a small town. This was near Dory lake. You and I would have gotten along just fine as we seem to be of the same work ethic.
