Hydraulic winch on Unimog

[Stephen Blair]

An Aldi come a long can be enough to get you out of trouble.

If you think you might get stuck, don't go in there.

The winch is usually at the wrong end if you do get stuck

Get yourself a tirfor until you have the funds for the right winch

Boughton hydraulic winches take some beating,..some come with free spool too.

Ex mod dealers will have them,...or try Nelson Green

 

I went to that airstrip in Folkingham Nelson Green uses for breaking machines, I dont know how to attach a google earth of the place but its staggering how much gear the guy has.

Its an experience for sure, people go there for holidays just to walk round and look.

Ive had Cats from them , normally top dollar but honest machines and they stand by them.

Anyway JB you can borrow a hydraulic boughton as in borrow not keep until you get sorted out. Mick Dundee is back next week, come and speak nicely to him and you may be able to con him into fitting it.

Farmi forestry winch converted to hydraulic which will drag valtra and trailer, not got proper stuck YET to try it fully but also makes a good dozer for clearing a way in.

Just over 3k for the lot.

Do this if you have a front linkage and spool - you will not get a better set up for the money IME. That is a bargain!

For £3K Vos have a Werner front PTO winch for a mog.

Yeah I saw that too [emoji106]🏻

 

Question is... if you had the choice of that or the winch Gray has which one would you go for?

 

Can the winch gray has be used to get me out of the sh*t if need be?

Bonus is, undo two bolts and the motor slips off, put normal pto on and swap onto back of tractor and run it in 1000 and you have a fast skidding winch with tractor running just off tickover.

 

Managed to pull this oak ok so should be up to self recovery.
