Watching you guys, brings back memories of my youth. We did the same thing 40 years ago,,, but using only a Super C Farmall and a 40 John Deere. We would use the 40 JD as our pull tractor up those steep power line hills. (It's only a 2 cylinder) haha.... Problems? Yes plenty, but we'd work through them. But at the end of the day,,, we'd manage to get a lot of wood out.
I have a L3200 with a Hudson M35 and paired up with a 14' dump trailer. I sometimes would like a larger tractor but all things considered its the perfect combination of size vs capacity vs mobility. Come with the tractor in the dump trailer, leave with a load of logs in record amount of time. I put a set of diamond pattern logging chains on the back, without the chains your screwed in anything but dry weather. Even then I get a lot more pull with the chains on. This setup isnt for every situation but following up a logging crew is a absolute home run. I cant imagine doing it any other way. My goal has always been making firewood fun and easy enough to do when my body is shot. Worst part is getting on and off the tractor.
Now I wish I had the exact same tractor setup you have here except a slightly smaller tractor. Loader with grapples to grab tree trunks and a winch to pull logs from difficult, tight areas instead of having a four wheeler just barely doing it. This is the dream for me!
Yes I do agree with you Sir, but they are so expensive but very handy for sure like that front grapple !!! Great video of lumber action Sir and great back saving for Sure 😉👍Cheers 👍
I purchased a Wallenstein FX90 Winch for my Kubota L3830 back in 2009 for work on our farm. It is definitely the most used attachment and the best investment.
Yup, definitely a handy attachment. I bit the bullet and bought one when I traded up to a grand L with a cab, cuz a cab tractor is NOT to handy in the woods, lol. Quickly realized I shoulda done it years ago! Combined with a grapple, perfect setup eh Kirk?! Btw, seen it before but nice trailer!
Back In The Woods Wallenstein fx85. Exceeded my expectations and definitely allows me to access wood I could not obtain before even without a cab. A self releasing snatch block is a must have also, I’ve used it more then I thought I would. On a 4060 also👍 with an EA Wicked grapple 😊
Thanks for the great video. I wish that I was there to help! There isn't anything better than cutting wood in the bush. Can you please tell me what size of tractor you're using? I'd like to upgrade. Cheers!
We wish you were too The more the merrier My tractor is 42hp a Kubota Grand L 4060 I believe it is a good size for the woods I wouldn’t want anything physically larger
In that case absolutely, but in most cases you don’t have a straight shot of 50 yards of lawn to work with usually you are on a trail or pinned between trees in the woods.
@@jeffreyhouston2043 Obviously. The idea is that you pull a log that the tractor can't get to with the winch. Once its to the tractor you skid it with the tractor
Not always, I often have to release pull ahead and rewinch due to snags or off camber terrain. I have a smaller tractor, so I have more winching capacity than pulling capacity. Having 200' of reach is invaluable in these situations.
Ok I'm sorry, but how much of that worthless dead crap would it take to pay for all that beautiful hardware? You're on flat ground ground there Bubba. Buy a wheel barrow, get some exercise.
It had nothing to do with exercise, it had to do more so with the amount off wood we wanted taking out of the woods in the fastest way possible, but you'll be happy to know since this we did buy a wheelbarrow, and that worthless wood seems to burn hot and also kept the camp warm all winter.
Thats a sweet set up... Will get a Forestry Winch.. Thank you

I just bought a wood winch and will have a video up soon. Thanks for the video
Nice work, these tasks go so much faster with equipment like that! 👍
The winch is awesome, I love mine.
Now I wish I had the exact same tractor setup you have here except a slightly smaller tractor. Loader with grapples to grab tree trunks and a winch to pull logs from difficult, tight areas instead of having a four wheeler just barely doing it. This is the dream for me!
It has worked well for me so far
Thanks for watching
Sweet dog. Ok equipment. ;)
Great attachment. One of these days I will get one
You won’t regret it
Yes I do agree with you Sir, but they are so expensive but very handy for sure like that front grapple !!! Great video of lumber action Sir and great back saving for Sure 😉👍Cheers 👍
They are not cheap that is for sure. If you could only purchase one I would be hard pressed to say which one is more useful. Thanks for watching
Powerful winch alright, I have a L3400 but want to get one a bit bigger like 45 HP
That's the way to do it Kirk!
We got a lot of wood out in a short time. Thanks for watching

It will definitely pay for itself during its life in wood and pain and work avoided.
I have a wallentine fx 60. Awesome winch. Used for many applications.
What brand grapple is on the front? Winch is nice too
wich brand is the winch?
It is a Farmi brand 301
My friend has a 10 ton winch on his old Ford make c hooks out old half shafts they work good
Thanks
I put a notch in each side it stops the chain from coming of
Wonderful Tructor.where can I get some to buy

Which one did you go with? How has it performed?

Nice toys!
Good for you helping a neighbor out. Put a bunch of logs that wouldn't be retrievable in the woodburner next winter.
That's how i do it, but no winch, hence why I'm here. Can you pull stumps with that too with block and tackle?
I haven’t yet but it pulls 6600 lbs it’s a beast
Thanks for the great video. I wish that I was there to help! There isn't anything better than cutting wood in the bush. Can you please tell me what size of tractor you're using? I'd like to upgrade. Cheers!

The more the merrier
My tractor is 42hp a Kubota Grand L 4060 I believe it is a good size for the woods I wouldn’t want anything physically larger
How do you keep the pto running when you get off the tractor?
I pull the seat up and toward the steering wheel so it can’t trip the sensor
@@backinthewoods2022 good idea but my seat won’t move.
@@mr.redneck2715 I see
There has to be a way to do it
Maybe if you start the pto without being in the seat it will let you
Apparently you can disconnect the sensor. Guess it is kind off dangerous but its a pain pulling the seat up which is what I am doing as well.
Nothing like the smell of saw gas and fresh dozed dirt makes me do the tim taylor grunt
look like a 1990 Tajfun .
Hi!
What size of Kubota is it? And what’s the capacity of the winch?
Thanks!
Grand L 4069 the winch is rated for around 6,000 lbs I believe
What size would work good on a kubota 2500, a 3501 pto driven?
I wouldn’t know the website probably will have specs though on hp ratings
i just got an igland 2501 for my l2900 have yet to use it but the hp range is from 15-35. probably a good size for a 2500.
dang lol what a struggle with a 50k tractor
I don’t understand?
Lotta compost you hauling out them woods. Better off leaving it in the woods.
Ummmm, couldn't you have just used the tractor to pull that little tree out of the woods ? It pulled it through the yard just fine.
In that case absolutely, but in most cases you don’t have a straight shot of 50 yards of lawn to work with usually you are on a trail or pinned between trees in the woods.
My point is that the tractor pulled the tree just as easily as the winch.
