Valmet owners?

Very nice! Get a 4 ton hydraulic werner winch on the front mate, then you will have a lovely package with a trailer on the back.

I would go for a tipping trailer mate and put bolsters in it, much better for arbwaste, Calidonian have some buckets that might fit your grab, they are excellent for shifting chip, sand, soil etc. ooo i am excited for you:thumbup:

 

I was thinking about that, do they clip on to the jaws? or do you have to remove them?

There is a lip indide each bucket for the grab to fit in then it's just a big J bolt to hold it on. 1 in each.

great looking machine and clean crane.

 

stephen, we've been thinking about which winch to put on back of 6550 with roof crane. interested to know what this werner front winch is, would you suggest using it to help pull tractor up a slope, or as a skidding winch, or both? i haven't seen a front winch, wonder if they have similar drum capacity as a rear pto winch. many thanks.

My friend has put 1 on his valmet. I had a pto version for my Mog once upon a time ago.

4 ton pull is 4 tin pull whether pto or hydraulic I reckon. I pulled a Mog and full timber trailer up a big hill once with my 4 ton 1.

no spades so you need a chalks for the wheels, I used mine for self recovery aswell as dragging trees over and out of places.

Whats the line speed like stevie? compated to your igland?

[Stephen Blair]

Iglands quicker but no where near the power, Werner are 2 way winches, so great control winching up hills, out of gorges and playing with big hangers .

mine fed the cable in evenly.

who is dealer for those winches? cheers
