^^^^^^^I would say 4-$500.00 is all it's worth, maybe more if one wanted rear end weight, ballast box with winch.

I've bought and sold a few winches over the years, and based my opinion on what they have gone for. I (briefly) had a Farmi which was very similar to that one, bought it for $1200, used it once, and sold it for the same amount when I realized that my 275 was too small/tired to run it.

The for sale sign say's trade for smaller winch for 30hp tractor, but I dont see why that wont work on a 30 hp tractor. although I would put a smaller cable on like a 5/16 or 8mm, 3/8 on 40-50 hp.

Brave, made in Minnesota. With the Honda GX.

Looks like a good quality rugged splitter. It has an interesting leg design I've not seen before. There must be an advantage to it but I'm not seeing it ?? Seems like it would be heavy lifting the hitch off the ball w/o a crank stand.

Nice day's work !!

When it comes to old used, it really is what you can get for it. Used winches aren't very common so can command a good price. Sometimes though it's easier to buy new, which is why I did this time.

The leg arrangement allows it to fold up tighter for storage in the off-season, very important to me. The angled leg is removable so it takes up little space when in the vertical position. A downside is it is a little less stable in vertical position with the leg being closer to the axle, but the trade off works for me. As long as I have it on level ground or close to level it is fine. In horizontal it is no different. I am in the land of softwood so the 22Ton is more than enough for my wood.

Why so little? A new one that size is probably 4K and it appears to be on good condition. Am I missing something here?

I have one of the same design. To make it easier to move around extend the splitting wedge out as far as it will go. That moves some weight away from the axles and makes the drawbar lighter to lift

Couple pictures of this summers wood gathering. This is a picture of some crooked beech culls from my woods hooked up ready to skid out.



Storm damaged yellow birch that had the top busted out by a wind storm. The bottom 18' will make some nice lumber but the top 16' had some splits in it and is weathered but great firewood.



Picture of my log dog guarding the tractor and wood.

They must want to much for this old Fransgard winch, been side the road for two weeks. Looks like it must be atleast a 20 year old model. Fransgard has kept that cam engage design, mine a 07 model and that part is pretty much the same, just mine dont have legs. All newer models have a but-plate, I think thats better then legs.
