Hi all,
Just purchased a new Tajfun 40A 2 to work the woods... Thank You to everyone for your advice!
I'm entirely green to logging winches--I can see the chokers are designed to catch 3/8 chain... as is the hook at the end... what is the process exactly for hooking around logs so you can start pulling?
I'm guessing get a wrap or two of chain tightly around the log(s) in question & go for it... but I'm getting images of crimped & damaged cable end going through my head... /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
All I'd done before is use rope & tie a timber & killick knot around the fat end & start driving... but rope & steel is a poor marriage, and the set-up is clearly intended for chain... /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
Any feedback/suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks again!
