I don't think this one has seen any skidding time! :hmm3grin2orange:
 
These pics may have been on here before.

Where did you get the skidder/winch attachment or is it homemade? Pretty slick setup

I sold about ten of those and I kept one for myself. When I started looking for a good winch that was build here in the states I found them. They are or were build here in Pa by Amish. The rights to build them has been sold 3 times in the last ten years but they are still build in Pa.
There may be some copyright infringement going on, not sure. I do know that my manual says La-Winch on the front cover.
Its built tough, they have 165 ft cable, rear blade that will pivot, if needed. They rated them at a 6500 pound pull, that's a joke, they are super under rated. I have pulled that hard with it that it lifted all 4 tires off the ground on that MF 235, rear tires are loaded and it has rear weights.
Just drop the blade and pull, the blade will hold the tractor, I never put the tractor brakes on.
Here are a few pictures of a new one.

Is that a factory trailer? If so, what is the make/model? If you made it, aces!

Soon's I saw rx' trailer, I said that's the same one being shipped to me. I liked the raised bed, so when mine came in I went to work. I still need to paint the rework, but had to try it out today. I'll post some pics next.
 
This hill is pretty steep. I nearly made it to the top, but I was going too slow. Had to back down to near level ground and try again. Locked in the 4x4, and low gear, and pour the gas to her and when I hit the steep part she pulled right on through it. Never lost a piece of wood either.

Proof that I made it to the top. I was sure I could, but that first attempt went sour.

Used a little John Deere 180 riding mower with homemade chains on the rear tires and a trailer big enough to haul 6 sticks then found this. 1977 F-250 Highboy. 351M 4 speed. This thing will climb a tree and go after squirrels.
