Farm tractor mounted skidding winches
TnAndy:
How many of ya'll use a farm tractor with a skidding winch for you 'get-logs-out-of-the-woods' tool ?
Bunch of different companies make them, seems most from Scandinavian countries....they be must more into that type thing.
I bought this Igland from a dealer in Maryland probably 20 years ago now....BOY has it been handy ! And stout. If it can't move the log to the tractor, it can mover the tractor to the log. Pic shows it mounted on my previous tractor, a 33hp New Holland. Now I've got a 41hp Yanmar.
furu:
I have a Farmi 501 will have to dig up some photos. Real nice unit.
4x4American:
Nice, will proberly get one one day. How do you like the yanmar compared to the NH?
TnAndy:
MUCH better tractor. Much heavier built, far better loader.
I broke so many things on the Model 1925 NH it wasn't even funny. Cracking the bell housing was the last straw ($1300 part + had to virtually disassemble the whole tractor to get to it).....I sold it.
4x4American:
Woof.
We had a NH TN75 bought brand new at a farm I worked at. That thing had nothing but problems.. split the thing three times, electronics always going bad and the dealer had to come out to do the electronics stuff. The electronics would inable it to move. Ended up bringing it to the dealer and said its your headache now and the boss traded in for a brandy new T 4.75 with a cab that has been so far so good.
