Yep, darn awesome attachments, these logging winches. Have looked at trees and thought "no way, either the clutch will slip, or it'll stall out", but it keeps pulling 'em. Looking forward to trying it on some large gums down some pretty steep terrain soon. Will need to double or triple up with snatch blocks but keen to see what it can do. Only regret apart from not buying a double drum winch - couldn't afford it at the time but could really make good use of it, is not using 6 and 8 " blocks from the get go. The piddly 3 1/2" 4x4 blocks I used have created a few small kinks in cable when the turns get snagged on somethingI use the farmi 501 and would never go without it, search some of my old threads tag beech and you'll find it
I have a small Wallenstein fx something. It is awesome for pulling logs from 150' away. Stole it for $400 off CL.
