if you want to part with your $4000 i'll sell you the farmi 501
Hi guys. I usually spend all my time on the firewood forum but I looked up some old posts about guys with logging winches. I need some advice. I was pretty set on buying a Farmi or Uniforest winch. I have 300 tops to clean up and it looks like the perfect tool to help get the job done. the guy that works for said that we could make one for a lot less money after he saw all the stuff the dealer sent me on the Farmi. I am questioning this. First of all I'm not quite sure how a pto winch works or where to buy one. The Farmi stuff keeps talking about their "legendary clutch". I am assuming if I don't want to smash something all to hell that I need a clutch. Do all pto winches come with a clutch? Also, someone told me not to even think about an electric winch (the kind you would put on a jeep or truck). What's the deal here. Am I embarking on a lot more than I can handle? I can weld anything but, the question is will it work as good or better than the commercial units out there? Any help would be appreciated.![]()
I feel retarded most of the time anyway. The trouble I am having is that my dad is giving me all kinds of crap and says that I should just pull them out with a cable like he has done for 50 years.
so what do you want, a $4000 winch for $250???
I appreciate it. Thankshere's another one... 19,000lb PTO winch no price listed.

well you mentioned something about having a $4000 piece of equipment in your garage. pick me up a farmi 601, jonsered 2171 bring it on over and i'll treat you to some real beer or whisky![]()
this is what happens when the snow starts to melt around here, beach is 28"x18', black maple got wet, but it floats pretty good when being pulled by the farmi, i have a video when i figure out how to post it here.
[QUOTE/] Also the Farmi guy called and wanted to know if I wanted a 501. I can't pull the trigger because my dad and our hired man keep asking me why I need this thing when we already have have pulled a million tops with just a cable. I really can't give them an answer and don't want to go through the grief when it shows up at the farm. Nice pictures.
well my grandfather never owned a tractor, never owned a chainsaw, horse and crosscut saw blah blah blah. when he sees how slick it works he'll wish he had one 20 yrs ago
