3ph attachment for hauling out trees

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( Hi Jim, I'll certainly pick one up if it is only around $22. Where do you think I can get one. You're down in Mass. right? I'm just up in NH in Alton Bay. Thanks John )</font>

I am in Ma. I picked up my holed drawbar at TSC in N.Y. last friday when I was out there. I saw them at two other local dealers for around the same price last Saturday. You could easily turn this into a hitch system with a few pieces of metal to weld up to the top hookup of the 3pt. I plan to do that with mine. I hope to weld a 2"2" box on it for a Reese hitch drawbar to tow trailers around the place. There will be another piece welded to the top of each side of the bar to connect to the top link of the 3pt.

johnw,

If you can purchase a Farmi winch for $100.00 don't even think about it, buy it. I have had one for 25 years and would not want to be without it when cutting fire wood or pulling logs.

The most you may have to do to it is change the cable and maybe adjust the clutch. You can have the whole thing apart in less than half an hour.

I noticed you also live in New Hampshire, I am in hte southwest corner of the state. Just in case you have the opportunity this Friday (4/30) and Saturday (5/1) there is the Northeast Forset Products Expo taking place in Springfield, Mass.

At the Expo there is everything one could want to see related to logging and forestry.

yes, very new, only driven a few over the years. But I burn a good amount of fire wood and have been getting it out the hard way... carrying it out to my pickup from where ever I could get reasonably close. But last winter my ticker gave out while flipping 4 ft oak logs up a highway embankment to my truck. Got shocked by the defibrillator 18 times to get my heart back on track. Therefore ... my first tractor!
