winch for tracked skid steer

[idahohay]

Yes, thats a squegee. I always keep a bottle of plastic window cleaner aboard and when I get out to cruise a section I am about to mulch, I liberally spray the door and squegee it off. There is also a cheep parts cleaning brush stuck in the perforated metal that comes in handy, mostly for cleaning around the fuel fill opening.

on machines that heavy i would think snatch blocks would be required at a minumum.

1 block doubles your pulling power, 2 blocks tripples it.


a 10K winch with a snatch block should be able to hang your skid streer in a tree if you wanted (and found a big branch)

does any one have any info on a winch system for a tracked skid steer. Do they go on the front or the back. I got stuck today and really wished I had one. After an hour of shovel work and some logs I got out. Thanks for any info.

This may or may not help, I have a Fecon FTX90L mulching machine, about 16,000 lb, I fell in a stump hole, the other day and had to go out the back window, I hooked the winch to a tree, but I was too stuck. Luckily I had a excavator near by. This is what I did for next time and there will be a next time
1. bought 50ft of 5/8 cable, with eyes and extra shackles. I keep the cable, on top of the machine, tied down
2. bought 2, 10 ton snatch blocks
I figured, with about twice as much pulling power, I might stand a chance, next time.
Another comment, is You need a powerful winch when you get in trouble.

I keep tree savers (2" rope about 15' long) and snatch blocks with both of my CTLs. The ASV has a Warren 9.5 ti electric, and I used to love it. That is until I got my Supertracks with a 15k Hydraulic on a bohemeth mount.

If I had it to do over, I would put a 15k Hydraulic on my truck, instead of the electric, and I would have opted for the same on my ASV.

The Tak is so much better balanced than my ASV, and I drive around my stuck ASV and winch it out with the Hydraulic on the 150.

This is an electric winch setup I built.Works great with a snatchblock.

I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it with my own eye's. On TV they had a show with a buried Humvee in sand up to the frame. They attached one end to a tree, and they kept attaching snatch blocks I think it was a total of 6, and I think 8 guys were able to pull the vehicle out and up a hill.

It was military training, in case they get stuck and there is no other vehicle to get them out.

So yes with a lesser winch and a few snatch blocks one would be OK.
