I decided that PTO power was the way to go for skidding and that I'd rather spend my summer logging than building a winch in the time I could be in the woods. So last week I dropped the hammer on a Wallenstien FX85 (the replacement for the discontinued FX90). Dealer is a buddies kid's employer, who cut me a nice deal if I pick it up at the distributor's warehouse (an hour closer than their shop, so it works out well for both of us). They gave me a 10 day ETA, which means it should be there by Sunday. I called yesterday to see if we had a firm arrival time yet, but the distributor hasn't responded.
Getting my tractor was a quantum leap from skidding with the ATV, and getting the winch will be another.
Choker stuff from Westech will be here Friday.
The anticipation is killing me!
