That'll fit fine on your ck. I'd probably advise going for the 351 if you can find one. Price isn't gonna be too much off the retail, unless it's really beat. I'd guess you're looking at around $2500 average used price. I got a great deal on my 351, but the guy didn't know what he had. In addition to searching for Farmi, try adding Norse, Wallenstein, Tajifun, "skidding winch", " log winch" "logging winch" "tractor winch" to your search terms. Mine was listed on Craigslist as "bush hog and tractor winch".

I am linking to the Nose dealer from which I purchased my 350 model. The price was very favorable for my intended use and shipping was included. This is my first winter with it and I am very pleased with it so far.

The amount of line pull and the size/weight of the winch is the difference. The numbers for most of these winches is a sort of code: the Farmi 351 has 3,510 kgs of line pull. Multiply by 2.2 and you get a touch over 7,700 lbs of pull. The 290 is gonna have a little under 6400lbs of pull. I think the Norse winches that Louie linked to are rated the same way. Now it should be noted that these ratings are usually for the first wrap of cable on the drum. As more cable winds around the drum, the size of the drum increases reducing your mechanical advantage.
I have a 351 on my Kubota MX4700. Probably could get away with a 501, with 11,000lbs of pull, but when you find a good deal you take what you can get. I'm will say that I'm darned impressed with that implement, and now that I have one, o wouldn't think of living without it. If mine were stolen tomorrow, I'd be replacing it asap.

I don't like the way Farmi rates their winches...
My winch is a Wallenstein brand winch, and it's rated on the LAST wrap on the drum, as they all should be!

I know what you mean, but as long as you're comparing apples to apples, any rating works. It's not like we can easily confirm their ratings anyway (I know it's possible), so it's just a tool for comparing them with each other. In that regard, Wallenstein should rate them the same as everyone else, so they can more easily be compared.

My Wallenstein does give two numbers...
On mine, it's 24,000 and change for the first wrap and 9,000 for the last...
I REALLY like that first big number, because it's what get's the load going! Another thing, you usually don't start out on the first wrap, so having a bigger number with a half loaded drum is a big advantage...

Any winch regardless of the ratings will pull harder on the first wrap over the last.
