Skidding winch

What size tree does it take 9000 lbs to move? (I realize it's going to vary with terrain)

It takes a lot of power to move them when they sink in the ground when they hit. My 15000 pound winch struggled to break this one free from that hole. Edit that picture is misleading. There was a 40 foot long 25” butt diameter white oak there. I had to cut the smaller tree to get it out.

these are pto skidding winches rated up to 14,000lbs but as has been mentioned they start getting pricey.

all drum type winches are rated at pulling power on first wrap.

My skidding winch has a drum, and as I already stated before, it's rated 9,000 on the LAST wrap.

The problem with skidding is, getting the load started
Skidding up hill
Soft ground where the log digs in
Then there's times when the log is rubbing on a rock or you need to turn the log, it's takes a lot more pulling power to do ANY of these things...

You can get it as either one as I stated it's available as a 9000 lb or 12,500 lb the 9,000 lb is what I have with the 11 inch drum the stall point is on it 11,500 lb. All are available as 12v, 24v or hydraulic.

Think you misunderstood my post, YOUR first post bough up the link to the electric winch TWICE when I though you wanted one link to electric and one link to the hydraulic....

I thought pto winches had different lb rating then electric winches, meaning on pto if winch it is rated 6000 lbs it would be the same on first wrap to the last wrap so all power rating is up to the tractor and cable.

must an FX85 or FX110 either one is a nice unit price for an FX85 starts at $3500 up $4000 thats why I mentioned the the ps654 series from pierce sales the Ps654 11Mk is rated at 12,500 lbs first wrap and you can shop around and find one brand new for around $1200.

As the wraps go on, it "can't" have the same rating...

Not all winches are rated the same, mine is as stated above, as per the manual that came with my winch.
