Looks like you got more winch than you have tractor. Please be careful with it.
Several years ago, my dad made a winch for his old Dexter tractor. We where logging whitepine after a Tornado back in 1974. That thing would pull a 150tree, 4ft dia at the base, all day long. Problem was if it snagged the tractor had a tendency to get pulled toward the tree. His old winch only had a cogged dog to engage the winch. it either pulled or it freewheeled. Once you had pressure on the winch, you couldnt knock it out of gear. We where winching a large tree across a small branch. We had backed the tractor up against a small longleaf pine to help hold the tractor in place. Well, the end of the log dug into the bank of the creek and decided that was as far as it wanted to go. Dad couldnt disengage the winch so the tractor started being winched up that small pine tree the tractor was backed up against. Dad bailed off the tractor and it was winched up the tree, but only so far, the tree decided it didnt like the tractor on its back so it straightened up and flipped the tractor on its top. Of course the diesel engine on that tractor just kept running so that now the tractor was skidding across the ground on its top. Dad reached up under the tractor and pulled the fuel cutoff and the engine died. We had a few more incidents similar before dad decided that his winch ideal wasnt going to work out without getting someone killed. He eventually got rid of that winch.
