Great! Glad you found us, we would be happy to have ya follow along our channel for more tractor amd firewood videos. Hopefully this video helped ya out, take care!
Assuming you’re using the chains to go around the logs, is that an east coast thing? Or using what you have, on the west coast all we use are cable chokers.
Not sure if it’s a coast thing but it’s a chain choker, the hook end allows for the chain to slide through then the link turns sideways to lock in place. Thanks for watching!
No doubt! Yeah a cable setup would be great if I had a skidding winch but the endless adjustment I can get with a chain really helps for skidding with the tractor. It’s hard to get the ends up high enough if I don’t get them good and tight. 🤠
@@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm that makes sense, cable works good for getting under logs and to the other side but at some point you always get a kink in it somewhere then there always a hassle.
Well Dave, what a fantastic set up that is with that cable spinner you don’t have to worry about swapping the front end
Thanks Ray, it sure is a powerful winch! It has pulled many of logs for us
Looks like a pretty sweet set up. 👍
Thanks! Looking forward to getting some logs behind it. I appreciate the feedback!
Now your rocking 👍
Yeah buddy! Sure is a solid winch, dad has done some nice work to it!
Looks very nice for pulling logs
It’s had served us well so far, ready to see how it looks all painted up and fresh looking :)
That's what i want to do. People tell me it's not good for your bevel bearing on the front axle?
It was a nice simple addition. I’d say you would never damage it with infrequent use, maybe after a lot of really hard pulls but I still doubt it.
I was loooking for a video for a tractor front mounted winch and I found it

@@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm 25yrs logging on the west coast never seen chain used before always used cable so I had to ask.

what size bolts fit the recovery winch on your bumper of your tractor
I not sure off the top of my head but im thinking 5/8" bolts.
Dave's been shopping at Harbor Freight
Yeah buddy, he’s got himself some goodies from there!
