I have a 2000 lb superwinch. I have used it to haul my Jeep onto a trailer. It struggles with it on the ramp part and there is no way it would get a stuck tractor out. I am hesitant that a HF 3000 lb would do much better....anyone have any luck?

I am considering as larger winch...HF has a 8000 lb one....that might be a good investment....not sure though

Scotty, give some thought to buying a pulley and hooking it on your 2000# winches line. Look at reply #4 (winston),the photos are showing his winch bolted on a vice mount with the multiplying pulley. The pulley would double your pulling capacity......it does take twice the line though.:thumbsup:

Our little tractors just don't do this job all that well. I've built several woodland roads and the key for me seems to be to hire a guy with a small bulldozer to make the road and then use the tractor to improve it. Price for a guy with a dozer is surprisingly reasonable. And building roads is what they do well.

Fellas, help me muddle thru this one....I almost got stuck last month with my tractor....so I just bought a winch...and pulleys.:thumbsup:
BUT......I recall years ago when a different tractor decided that it would not start. A new battery did not help so I called the dealer who sent a trailer around and picked it up. I wasn't there to witness this and they charged a $400 transport fee. Now I have a trailer so if that happened again, HOW do you winch a dead tractor up onto a trailer? The tractor has a FEL which if dead would be full down and dragging. If a winch were attached at the REAR of the tractor on a "tow" bar attachment could a winch drag it up onto a trailer....sure would be alot of weight going up that ramp? Thoughts here? :confused: my whole career has been preparing for things that you hope will never happen:cool:

Might be considerable work but I don't see why you couldn't jack your loader up in stages by jacking, pull control valve lift handle to allow it to raise, release it while re setting jack, etc. Loader in air will make the task much easier. Not sure that will even work, never tried it. Don't know what size trailer you have so that will be the extent of my opinion for now. :)

Boeing, I've lifted the bucket just as Winston suggested on a dead tractor. Get pressure applied upward, whether by a jack underneath it, or a board on a fulcrum. Pull the lift control for the loader, and it will go up, repeat as needed. I bought a little Kubota B6000 that was dead, and needed to winch it out of a horse stall around a 90 degree corner. I finally got it where I could reach it the front of the machine, and was able to lift the bucket by hand enough to do this, until I could reach it with a set of jumper cables and spin the motor to power the pump.

If the tractor will crank, but not start, just spin the engine and the hydraulics will all work. Make sure to raise any implement on the back too, obviously, before the battery goes dead.

If you're dragging it on backwards with the bucket down, as it starts to go up the ramps it will start running on the bucket-pull the lift control and it will float up.

With a rolling load, a good sized winch should pull anything you can trailer behind a regular pickup up a set of ramps. With a 2:1 block it should be no sweat at all, but may take awhile to get it close enough.

If you can't get the bucket to raise, or don't have a jack, once the cable is wormed underneath the bucket, when you apply tension on the cable you can work the controls of the loader and it will be pushed upward by the cable.

OK, thanks Winston and International.....that's what I needed. Hopefully I'll NEVER have to deal with this but it feels good KNOWING that there is a way.
Thanks again.....Happy Bunny:D
