Interesting Tajfun logging winch

[Oldpath05]

Huh? You're messing with us aren't you?

Yup, like someone here was saying, probably no such thing as a bad winch, I just wanted to see if I could catch Sayer Rob napping.

Can you explain this statement with some facts? I've been thinking of buying the Ausie tow truck operators<<<<<<<<<<<Haven't heard of that show, I've been watching Longmire on Netflix, set in Northern Wyoming near the Cheyenne Reservation, the sheriff is constantly butting hear with the Cheyenne cop on the Rez, lot of twist and turn and see folks hauling with the main cable. Also the Wallenstein's seem to offer more features than any other brands locally available to me.

Wallenstein is a good choice, I was just messing with Sawer Rob, I had a feeling he'd come back with a nice picture.....didn't think it would be that quick thow.

Right on. I thought that might be the case.

That sounds like a nice winch, but some things to me just aren't an advantage.

For instance, I'd take "Wallenstein's style", of ratchet paul brake over bands ANY day...

The ratchet is much more positive, as in super strong, and NEVER needs adjustment or wears out.

But of course, some things are more important to one person than to another...

The disadvantage to the old-style ratchet-pawl brake is that to disengage it, I have to get off the tractor, engage the winch to take pressure off the pawl, then flip it over to disengage it.
Band-style brakes are disengaged with a rope just like the winch. So, say I've got a full twitch on, going uphill, and I lose traction. All I've got to do is pull the brake rope; the load drops, I go to the top of the hill, and then winch the load back up to me. Huge time saver.
It's totally positive in that it automatically engages, never needed adjustment, and is super strong.

I don't have to get off the tractor to release mine, in fact I don't need to pull the brake rope either!

All I have to do is bump the line in cable and the brake releases, and I can do that right from my tractor seat...

Sounds like Wallenstein has a better way of doing things... lol

Hey, I've noticed you have been making some rather "hinkey" post lately. I figured your senility was finally showing up in your post, so I jumped right in.

I wouldn't want folks believing the rants of an senile old man, could be true...

My farmi is like that too. Just give the clutch rope a quick yank and the brake disengages.

To each, his own. I've owned a Fransgard and used a Farmi. Both great winches, as I assume the Wallenstein is also. My current Tajfun is what I prefer of those I've owned and used.
