I could see where the winch would do well to grab a tree out of a snag, or perhaps from the far side of a soft spot, but off and on the machine to hook all your logs takes time, where the grapple is hook and go. A chain or cable could do the same as the winch with just the tractor pulling those that needed it. Input from users please......opcorn:
Also, is the blade on the winch made to use or more as an anchor...?
