Tajfun EGV35A Logging Winch Review

Here's an overview of the Tajfun EGV 35A forestry winch. I purchased this winch several years ago and have used it to yard a lot of wood on my property. This model is designed for tractors around the 15-35 horsepower range, has a pulling force of more than 7000 lbs, and cost me around $3500.

Thank you for this very interesting video. I have that same winch and I agree they are good quality. Just to correct one information, as far as I know, the company Tajfun is not based in Romania but rather in Slovenia. Both countries are in the Balkans area but Slovenia is on the western side and connects to Italia, while Romania is on the eastern side and connects to Ukraine ! The shortest straight-line distance between both countries is about 200 miles long across Hungary.

The comapny is In Slovenia. Part of a EU. 65% of the contry is coverd by woods. So we can safely say they are doing.

Hey thanks Carlos, glad I could help.

Choker chains need 1/4" x 12" tail welded on end of chain link. Then find a spare small chain link and cut it half, then weld one half of chain link on end of 1/4" rod, that way when you push tail under log, then you can grab the welded on half chain link with pulp-hook and yank it all the way under log...........

Hi, thanks for the review.
How much horsepower does your JD have? I want to buy a 3,5t winch for my 35hp tractor, but I don't know at the moment, if I want a 3,5t or a 4,5t winch,
Did you ever had the feeling, that your winch is too small?

My tractor is 32 hp. I think the winch is perfect sized for this tractor. It actually has the power to tip the tractor over if you're not careful. I would not want to go bigger with this sized tractor.

Liked and subscribed! Let’s see you hook it on to the tractor. What’s the minimum and maximum HP?

Can't do a review, with out the winch on the tractor.

Hey Billy, check out my other videos where I show the winch on the tractor being used in a logging operation.

I wanted to do that overview without the tractor in the way obstructing the full view of the winch
