Winch ??

[tomtrees]

I got a tirfor coppy, 400 600 pounds, solid weighs a ton. I have puled out some big stuff but only if I cant get the grinder or a JCB in.

 

Cant understand any one pulling off a truck every time I have used the truck I just end up pulling the truck:confused1:

Smaller trees or a bigger truck

 

Easy fix!

 

I saw a house moving truck the other day that had a massive chassis mid mounted PTO winch. The cool thing was the rear bumper looked almost like a really short bulldozer blade. Had a good look and it was on a hydraulics system that lowered the blade down to work as an anchoring system when winching. And epically cool bit of kit.

Gotta love winches, I have a dozen of them, no limit to there application.

Seen a tifor think 516 or somin 1699kg 29 meter is that ideal for our work ?

Tirfor is hard to beat and top quality; looked after it will last a lifetime.

 

There were two Trewhella monkey winches on ebay last time I looked, which are primitive but incredibly powerful - rigged properly you can uproot a tree with one!

[David Goss]

Tirfor winches are great but real heavy, lightest and probably cheapest option would be a fiddle block or you could set something up yourself if you had a few spare pulleys kicking around. It would surprise you how much weight you can pull over just with a few well positioned pulleys and some wheetabix in the morning

Got to be a Tirfor, Terry. That, or feed Mark better

Wouldnt go for a copy, i have seen them break under pressure, jam under pressure and bits snap off. I have owned my tirfors for nearly 13 years, they are bullit proof and very robust. If you get a carrying handle fitted it makes it so much easier to carry.

Make sure you get a system that's rated in the same vain as all your rigging gear, and remember your spare shear pins!

Or get 1 with no shear pins

[Paul Smith]

If it has no shear pins how is the system protected from overloading? Do Tirfor make them without shear pins!
