Thanks for the thought.

 

I am pretty sold on the capstan winch sold by Proclimb and F R Jones and Sons if I get the job. Also have had a very kind offer of a hire of tractor mounted forestry winch from a member

Hi I've had a similar job recently and used a lister engined winch thatsmounted on its own trailer. Hell of a tool we used 150 meters of the cable on it and there was still half left on drum!! Two speed. Reverse and a drag brake I believe it's what the utilities boys used to pull cables through ducting. ? may hire it or sell it

I use a Portawinch P5000, it has a 50cc honda engine and can pull around 2 ton. straps can be utilised around a tree or there is an attachment for fitting the winch to a tow bar,its really powerful and was recently used to uproot several stumps. They are expensive-new is around £1600. There are a lot of clips on the tube about it and using a re direct will help in manouvering logs through the woodland and up the slopes.
