Yes it's for the hydraulic winch. I did said I rarely use it but I do use quite a bit. Not for logging purposes though.
I've used it already like a crane by using a block on the loader to redirect the line.

I was doing a 3 month internship, on the maintenance department of a huge rope making factory (210 square feet). They make all kinds of ropes plus loads of balling twine for all kinds of brands, Krone, New Holland and so on. Little do most people know, that the only thing that changes between brands is just the label. But that's another story.
We start the work day at 8:30 AM all the way to 5:30 PM if we don't have any major broke down in the meantime.
Anyway, it's about 9 AM, most people still kinda sleepy... Suddenly there is a huge BANG!, almost like a bomb with a cloud of dust flying all over the place. After most people take a look at their underwear to see if it was still cleaned, we proceed to investigate what happened.
Well, the forklift guy decided it was a good idea to race through the factory with the mast fully extended with a big bang hanging on the forks. Then he caught the main 3" compressed air supply line.
We all thought: He must have learned his lesson after that apparatus. Nope, 3 days later, same thing happened.
Wow racing a fork lift with the boom all up, there's be some serious repercussions on that where I work, probably least 5 days off............ Next time you (NEED) to use your front end winch on something take a picture, I'm in no hurry so we dont want staged photos, my guess is it wont be til next year....................

I don't really have the phone with me all the time, so I don't break it. That's why I don't take much pictures with things being used.
But the tractor does have a good spot for it in the back of the seat, I just need to get used to put it there.

Thank you sir! All I use is an older 3 phase rectifier welder and sometimes a cheap inverter welder, both stick welders.
