Hi folks, 

 

Anybody have any experience or advice with these?  I am looking at a kellfri 1400kg winch to mount on an old tractor mounted patu crane. I want to use it to finish off first thining spruce but it seems pricey at over 1K for what is in it. 

 

Advice always appreciated 👍

I dont know about being pricey at just over a grand for whats in it ? i would not like to try and make one for that , i think for what they are and the time and effort you would save its a bargain, we had some logs that we could not get tractor and trailer near to load and i am just glad there was not many of them as we chained then and dragged them with crane, stop shorten chain and repeat till near enough to load, it seemed to take ages to move about a dozen logs, seen one of these winches working on a small forwarder and it worked very well and after speaking to the owner about it i was sold on the idea, lucky enough i have not been in that situation again since but i would not hesitate to purchase one if i was ever there again,

Thanks for the replies folks. They sell a remote control kit for it too for a few hundred extra so as I am working on my own, I suppose it would be worth it.

 

I have an stand of spruce in soft ground to finish and hope to winch and process with the stroke delimber in the one spot. As low impact as possible 🤞
