Anyone have a Tajfan logging winch?

This is link to Tajfun web site.
Company is located in Slovenia, and have pretty good products. Their products are common in our country in forestry work, so it will be premium for homeowner.

If you'll have any issues about language, ask me, as I understand Slovenian language pretty good.

Hope this helps,

ZJ_HR that is the first web page I found while looking at them months ago, notice that at the top you can select English.

I emailed Scandinavian Forestry Tech in Idaho last night after reading this thread and was surprised to get a personal telephone call from Anders this AM. We discussed what size would be best for my tractor, cost, etc. He was a fine Gentleman as you mentioned. Found out there's a Dealer approximately 200 miles from where I live and he currently has 4 in stock. Anders manages his own woodlot. so has quite a bit of experience with tractor mounted winches. I respect the fact that he didn't bad mouth other brands. I mentioned that i read about the winch on TBN. He wasn't aware of this site and planned to check it out. Now if I can get that 5 acres sold.

Thanks ZJ, could you find out what they think about their 16 HP Min. on my 13.5 HP PTO? My B21 will handle it and it might not do the full 6600 lbs, but I wonder what the factory would say.

Tell me what model you're looking for, and I'll try to call them next week. Probably smallest EGV30A.

For me it is not an issue about hp, as this data is for recommended tractor power (your is Kubota, 21hp?), not a PTO power.

Real issue is weight and strenghtness of 3 pt hitch of your tractor. Note that this winch has cable pulley mounted on top of winch, above top link pin, and almost all force will be transfered to top link. Be careful with this, as you have small and light built tractor, not an rough ag tractor.

It was post about hyd housing damage, caused by winch, about year ago. I don't want scare you, just warn what winch can do, if you are not carefull enough /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

ZJ I thought that meant PTO power, and yes I ordered a EGV30A. All the large logs will be cedar at 100" long so a couple of them might not be too heavy.
