Hello I purchased a tractor and it came with a Norse 190 logging winch. Ive never used one but I have talked to people that have and use logging winches on how to use them safely but I have a specific question on this model.
Ive been told that after winching the logs to the tractor that you would take the choker chain off of the winch cable and hook it to winch via a row of slots to hook the chain into. That way the load of the log is on the winch body itself and not the winch.
So, with that my issue is on this specific model, Norse 190, there is NO place to hook the choker chain to.
The picture on their website makes it look like they keep the logs on the winch cable and drag them that way:
190 Norse 3 Point Hitch - 15-30 HP - Norse 3 Point Hitch Winches - Labonville Inc.
In this picture a close up of the winch you can see it doesnt have any slots, but in the background to the left you can see one with the slots.
NORSE LOGGING WINCH
Should I get a bar with slots welded on to hook the logs onto?
Thanks
