Was looking for winch in a box to drag stump grinder on to truck after a couple of near misses. But made one for a lot less and stronger. Used it this morning to pull some dead pines back for road and BT cable with it anchored to Giant.

I'd mount it to the bucket personally, lot of stress on those two side jaw pins and the hydraulic ram.

Those side pins are 30mm and that ram has plenty of power. 

But was only a test today but will probably chain it to fork.

Old ex army ammo box? I use them for battery boxes on my machines if needed 👍

I wondered where this thread was. Crap at using the search function. I bought this old trailer on a whim to go behind tractor. But smaller than I wanted for further down the line but can always get another. 

 

Someone had been front loading it and squashed the front corner down. 

 

Put lots of strength and beefed it up where needed. 

 

Can easily take my 2.6t digger and tracked chipper to site on it in one go now at least

Maiden voyage for the trailer

Needed a bigger box for site works to go on front loader. Have a smaller box but cannot fit 660 in and 36" bar etc fuel cans, tool boxes, ropes signs hammers and wedges. Bought this to start from :

 

Most importantly somewhere to make a brew and have lunch on!
