Forestry winch

[Lfservices]

Hi guys

 

I'm looking at possibly buying a winch for my fordson major tractor. 

 

Have been offered a 10 ton cookes winch. Would this be any good??

I would have choosen a Scandinavian style logging winch.

I'd recommend looking at a winch with 3-5000 kg capacity.

 

Take a look at Igland, Fransgård and Farmi winches.

It depends wot u want the winch for?

 

Do u want it for skidding timber out and some pulling standing timber over?

Or do u just want a powerful winch that will pull over hardwood trees or for rescuing/debogging other machinery?

 

Not sure wot Hp ur major will be which might restrict the pull off a more normal skidding winch.

A  normal winch would be better for 1st type of work while ur Cooke's will be better for 2nd job.

I know a few hardwood/firewood cutters who have Cooke's/Broughton type winches on majors

Would be mainly for pulling cut timber to where we want it as access isn't great in places. Think the major is about 48hp
