Convert Continental Post Hole Auger to a logging winch
Just as the title says. Is it possible. I have a continental post hole auger sitting around collecting dirt. Would it be possible to convert to a skidding (logging) winch
Thanks

Re: Convert Continental Post Hole Auger to a logging winch
I've seen lots of winches made from a rear end differential.

Re: Convert Continental Post Hole Auger to a logging winch
With some minor fab work, I was thinking of replacing the auger bit with a pto shaft and putting a pto winch half way down where the auger would go. Opinions or other suggestions
Thanks

You will probably want your winch to be reversible, too.

Re: Convert Continental Post Hole Auger to a logging winch
I suspect you would also have to add some form of clutch and brake system and also free wheel option to the auger drive to make it a winch. Is this PTO powered auger or hydraulic? If hydraulic the reverse should be there already.
