This thing is AWESOME....
I am usually the person to find fault in the smallest stuff...
the only thing I could find to be slightly unworthy is the PLASTIC
pulleys for the engagement rope???
they will be replaced with metal ones, but thats it....
There was one tree that I thought NO WAY....well it moved it without so much as a whimper....
Sorry about the dark photos....I was having so much fun that I forgot to stop and take pics....

I am planning to build one out of a pto winch I have laying around here I have no doubt =it will take it.

Milkie, as long as your 3 point is in good working order, along with the PTO, I see no reason that old Ford won't work just fine. It may even have a small advantage over most farm tractors with it's relatively low center of gravity. Just watch for any high stumps you could get hung up on.

Ramrod- nice outfit. Hope it lasts you many years. I'm now officially jealous, but the 3 pt drawbar on the Massey and some log chains will have to do till "spare" cash shows up!

Your setup looks good. Winches are super handy especially if you have hilly or wet ground not accessible by a tractor or atv.
Enjoy, and remember to always pull straight off the rear

Thanks for the action shots. I really want one but just do not have the money right now. Oh well some day I will get one. Maybe next time we log the farm I will be able to justify it.
Thanks again for the action shots please send more.

I ran my Farmi winch with an old Ford 9N. I could drag monster ~20" trees out of the woods in two hunks. One pull for the main trunk, and one pull for the top.

Sorry for not recognizing a tractor I've never heard of?
Its o.k. until I started using this one, I would have said the same thing...
But now that I have used this one, I would buy another....
Hello Folks,
Here are some pic’s. of my winch/grapple and splitter setup. So far this combo has been great for me. I have had no problems with any of the equipment so far. The grapple I made by modifying a set of pallet forks. Anything that I could buy weighed too much and reduced my load lifting capability of the loader. I just added an auto cycle valve to the splitter and now I can really process wood fast by myself. I’m going to build a 6-way wedge and table grate for the splitter next.
Take care,
Ken

Boy Klocke you have a nice setup. It would be nice to see more pics of it. I think it would be awsome if you started a NEW post on your setup and how you do your wood cutting/ processing.
