Bonsoir Joe! Quelle belle invention! Il y a beaucoup de réflexion dans ce projet! Avec la manette et les deux sens de rotation sans oublier le système de transmission 😅 Ça l’aire pas mal puissant aussi! Bonne semaine! Adrien
Joe! That is some awesome work!! I can not wait to see it in action. Well thought out and planed. You are a master fabricator. Have a great weekend my friend! See ya!
This is very nice Joe !! Very nice work I love the design and it works wonderfully !! I can't wait for future video's of this new Winch it will be amazing !! 👍👍
Hi Joe, what an impressive project! That is an absolute beast and will be a welcome addition when doing wood. Lots of work and thinking involved on this one, turned out great. Thanks for sharing :)
Good Evening Joe👍👌😇 It is very nice to see Mike 😇👌👍OUTSTANDING GENIUS WINCH My friend That You Have Created 👍👌🧐Very Nice Ventilation 😇👌👍I can't wait to see Your NEXT VIDEO JOE 👌👍😇CHeers 🍻🍻
Salut Joe!! This is a massive winch for sure. Certainly is strong and I bet you will be able to pull any log you cut. It runs pretty smooth too. Nice engineering to get the clutches to operate for pulling as well as unspooling. Nice build!! Take care!!
This thing will pull a house! Very nice video. You are extremely gifted in fabrication! Man some nice equipment if you can make round stock into an axle with a keyway. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Mike.
Great build Joe, too bad you can't get somebody to do the videography for you,.. or rather us. :) I hope we can see a video on how this winch works in the woods.
I've purchased the clutch on Amazon. It's being sold by 8Ten. My choice was based on a double sheave, 1in shaft, 200lb-ft torque and ±4 inches pulleys. And the best price too! It was below 200$ (CDN) each, which was quite affordable. So to say, I have no clue on what kind of machine it is supposed to go!!! Thanks!
@@FromSteelToWood Thank you so much. I found similar spec ones but with 1 1/8" shaft for $69 US!!! Just got two to use for my military winch! I really appreciate your build and sharing it.
Thanks! I suggest going to a bigger engine, like 10-15hp, as it takes a good amount of HP to pull heavy weight quickly. If I had to do it again, I would not include the reverse function. Not as convenient as I thought! Thanks!
If you unwind the cable and don't pull on it... that is the perfect recipe for disaster! So far, if it happens and I see it, I unwind a bit more until I see nothing loose before I pull back.
Hi. Really admire your engineering and fabrication skills. I have a similar type smaller military winch and am planning on building a PTO logging winch, similar to you... but, i don't really have the money for all of those parts nor do I really need reverse or remote control.. i was planning on just powering the winch straight from the tractor PTO and sitting on the tractor to run the winch, using the clutch and pto engagement lever. I would build a protective screen on top of the winch and use synthetic winch cable for lightness and saftey... Do you think this would work OK?
Hello, it would be pulling slow using the PTO directly to the input shaft of the winch. It has a reduction of 1:34, if I remember well. So given a diameter of spool of 8 inches, that would give 22 ft/min at 540rpm. You then have 2 choices. Either you run a set of sproket or pulley to increase the speed of the rotation of the input shaft. Either you increase the diameter of the spool, by building material on it. Let say the spool is increased to 16in in diameter, you would get 44ft/min. That would be a minimum acceptable in my opinion. Ideal would be 75ft/min. Then max (fast) is 100ft/min.
@@FromSteelToWood Hi Joe, thanks for the reply and great info. we would only be using the logging winch occasionally so we may just accept the slow speed... or if it really is too slow for us, i think i might use your idea of building up/doubling the spool size as i am sure that for what we do 44ft.min would be fine. thanks again!
Bonsoir Joe!

Merci! C'était pas tant difficile à imaginer, mais de combiner les chemins de courroie avec les chemins de chaîne était un peu plus compliqué! Merci!
Joe! That is some awesome work!! I can not wait to see it in action. Well thought out and planed. You are a master fabricator. Have a great weekend my friend! See ya!
You’re an unbelievable fabricator Joe, this winch will be so useful for you to pull trees out of the woods. Well done 👍🏻🙋🏼♂️🙂🇨🇦
Thanks Luc! I've been waiting very long before I tackle this project. I wish I had done it before!!! Thanks!
This is very nice Joe !! Very nice work I love the design and it works wonderfully !! I can't wait for future video's of this new Winch it will be amazing !! 👍👍
Thanks Robert! I'll make another video to update you all with the latest modifications, the pros and cons of that design, etc. Thanks!

Thanks Dave! Too bad we did not make any video while you were there! But the paint is still ready if you come again! Thanks!
Great build, Joe. Your ingenuity is admirable!
Thanks!
Thanks Joe very well done. Take care.
Thanks Mark!

Thanks! That is a lot of work involved into that project. But I think I'll save most of this time in a year or two of use! Thanks!

Thanks! If you look carefully at the end of the video, you will see a new tool in the garage in the background. Have you seen it? Thanks!
@@FromSteelToWood I didn’t catch the new tool. I’ll have to have a closer look.
I see a pretty nice mill and a lathe. Both very nice to have for projects like this.
C’est vraiment incroyable de designer et fabriquer cette installation à partir de vieux équipements! Wow!
Merci! C'est quand même pas si dur, juste très long à fabriquer!
Est-ce un treuil de capacité style d’un Timberjack? J’ai peut être manqué la provenance de ce treuil.
Nice work, looking forward to your next project 🙂
Thanks!
Wow really nice winch build. Thats really a must to know to do good welding as you do and be ingenious to make quality stuff.
Merci! Oui, ça aide de savoir souder et de savoir patenter!
coming along well Joe. very nice setup
Thanks!
Great project. Thanks for posting.
Thanks!
well done great design..i really like the clutch system!!
I think this is the key element of the design. There are things I would have done differently, but the clutch is the best part of the design!
An interesting project Joe. It is definitely heavy-duty! I wonder what the weight of it would be? Take care
Hello John! It's definitely too heavy! I would say around 1500lbs. That works with a front-end loader, but it does not without! Thanks!
Great build Joe, too bad you can't get somebody to do the videography for you,.. or rather us. :)
I hope we can see a video on how this winch works in the woods.
I'll take some time to update you on this project!!! Thanks Reg!
@@FromSteelToWood Whenever you can, I'll be here! :)
what clutches did you use? Looks really promising. Look forward to future videos using it!
Thanks for sharing

This is a fantastic build and very cool to watch it come together. Are you going to add a ground anchor for the tractor?
Hello Joseph! Yes, there is some kind of anchors on the back of the winch and they do their job very well! Thanks!
Great engineering.
Thanks!
Quel beaux travail!
Merci!
Awesome job! Was thinking of something similar but with a 5 hp gas motor. Just need to figure out reverse.
Thanks! I suggest going to a bigger engine, like 10-15hp, as it takes a good amount of HP to pull heavy weight quickly. If I had to do it again, I would not include the reverse function. Not as convenient as I thought! Thanks!
Ah! I was wondering why the power reverse for logging . It seems like a good way to get a large birds nest.
If you unwind the cable and don't pull on it... that is the perfect recipe for disaster! So far, if it happens and I see it, I unwind a bit more until I see nothing loose before I pull back.
But indeed, that function is not as convenient I have envisioned.

fabrication on steroid...lol... bravo, vraiment impressionnant
