Logging winch design

[JJT]

I rarely run my Igland at pto speed, if I do I get 4 - 5 feet per second. Slow and steady wins the race, at a little over an idle I'm getting 2 - 3 feet per second, that's fast enough for me.

Agreed. PTO speed is too fast for me. But your 2-3 feet per minute is still 5 times faster than the hydraulic winch mentioned earlier
