Line speed is down to pto speed ... I would say 6 ton is perfect if any thing maybe too big for a 52hp tractor it will probably pull it over or rip the back off so I would not worry about power.. I'm using a similar farmi 3 ton winch on a international b 275 and it's pulling more than enough... Have had it off the ground quite a bit this week.

Those older winches are very easy to work on I'm not sure of the health and safety legalities with employers though... But obviously as with all winching operations safety is paramount!ImageUploadedByArbtalk1390481592.801782.jpg.fe18e69912e17fecfb4e9d630c473c95.jpg

It's a one off job pulling smallish trees (6-12") up a very steep bank. Cable length is most important, I can always cut the trees in half if they are too heavy.

 

I can't justify new, and they're not easy to find for hire.

Have you looked into the price of a new winch?

 

Igland tend to be expensive but something like a Uniforest is much more reasonable – you might be surprised.

 

The new ones have a few more safety feature as well!
