winch implement?

[farmerboybill]

Good thoughts. I actually already have a 4 wheeler with a 3500lb electric winch, but I don't think it's quite up to the task. For one the winch on the 4-wheeler only holds 40 feet of line, so I'd have to go down hill (which is pretty steep) and reattach the winch line to make the complete 150+ feet pull. Also, electric winches have a low duty cycle. Something you don't have to worry about with a mechanical setup.

Yup, that's the appeal of the capstan. Me, I'd like to buy a skidder plate for the 3 point hitch and mount it on my 4430. I'll be pulling burr oak logs over 36" up outta my woods. I've been dragging them with a long cable, but it's limited and moderately dangerous. The winch on a skidder has a much longer cable, higher pull strength, and higher duty cycle versus a 4 wheeler winch.

I meant a marine anchor capstan, not a trailer winch.

Hope this helps.

Maybe something like this 3000 psi hyd winch. Mount it on the front or back.

I used to have a MileMarker hydro winch on a 4x4 many years ago and I think the millitary used them on the HMMVs as well. Tow trucks use the Ramsey hydro units to pull dead cars onto the flatbeds.

Winch on 2 wheel tractor was quite common in Norway in the period after WW2 until 1970 when many two wheeled tractors were converted to small forest machines to replace horses. The winches consists mostly one worm gear to lower the speed, the clutch brake and a drum. I have one of these machines so I can take a picture of the winch during the weekend.


These are two examples of how two wheel tractor have been modified

Wow that should be a thread all itself. I want one.

Those are two wild machines.
