I have a Norse 390 on my JD 4310. very nice unit . I picked it over the Farmi because of the lower pull point of the winch. makes the tractor a lot less tippy; it will drag the tractor before it will tip. much easier to control
Anybody have the 290 Norse? I've been wishful of one of those for a while.

Bob,
I have been following the thread but I don't quite understand if you are going to run it off of a hydraulic remote on your tractor? How exactly is it going to be powered? You are talking about getting a valve. Is that a tractor remote valve or specific for the Mile Marker winch?
Edit: I missed an earlier post where you do say tractor remotes. Is the large GPM output of your tractor ok with the winch. I believe they mentioned a 3.5 minimum but no maximum GPM pump requirement.
I'm in the same boat. Logging winches are great but they are way too expensive.
I have been doing a combination of chains, two snatch blocks, nylon rope and drive forward system. It works but makes even more of a mess on logging roads because I have to drive over the same ground more as I pull the logs out to the road.
