Skidding Winches

[motownbrowne]

What kind of Winches do you all have?

I've got a Farmi 351 with legs instead of a blade. Paid $900 for it after I found it mislabeled in a Craigslist post.

My Fransgard V3000

Fransgard has really changed their design, mine doesn't look nothing like that, has no feet so I don't have to worry about it running away. How far back in the last century is that?

Awww jeez, mine's got feet too, and I never even considered it running away. Now I've got something else to worry about!

Tornado got them...and there were quite a few, down in that ravine... They are red oaks, and I cut two 17 footers and a 8' - 6" out of many of them!

Then I pulled the tops out and fire wooded them...
