Nice new TN 75...

Evergreen,
Congratulations on your "75". I also have been in then market for TN. Thanks to all the info. on this board, I just purchased a TN65 with 200hr. Will take delivery this month. Similar set up as yours. Loader, & box blade. I believe they are the same tractor, but yours is turbo charged. I will look forward to hearing how you are doing with yours. Can you tell me more about the winch?
Best of luck.

dapper... my winch is a Farmi 501. I think its rated for 12000#'s...I think. It is truly a great piece of equipment. I wish I would have got the 701...had the 75 standing on end a couple times yesterday...no worries though. at the time, the 501 was really all I needed. The salesman said how much will you really be using it..." sometimes" was my answer. I'm now in the firewood business/light to moderate logging and the bigger winch would be nice. I think the 701 was about 15000#'s of pulling power and quite a bit heavier...but I'll survive...I'll be starting a nice little logging project next week...should take 2 or so months to complete...I'll be taking plenty of pics...my wife is jealous, maybe even my dogs too!!! Any questions let me know

Hi, I will be purchasing a TN75 or one of the new TN85 or TN95's within the next two months. It will have 4wd and a loader. I am also looking at a Farmi JL501 winch and a graple for the loader. Have you had any problems with the TN75 pto, i.e. power to the winch? Also, is the winch itself well made and does it have enough power to move large timber, 36 inch dbh? Does the clutch slip on the winch a lot? Will the winch pull as long as the power is being put to it?
