Winch on the front of tractor

[Holly tree]

I've got a valmet 6400 and botex trailer and I am looking to buy a winch. I don't want to have to take trailer of so looking for options was thinking front mounted winch or front 3 piont linkage and winch?

 

Any help or advise would be helpful.

[Stephen Blair]

do you have front linkage and pto?

If so, then mount 1 there.

If not then get the above done.

If you don't want to do either of those, buy a hydraulic winch and run long hoses to it from the back and cable tie them up, cheap as chips style

Farmi used to do a hydraulic winch that was really simple to fit and designed to act like a front weight too. I don't know if they still do it but they were OK, but needed decent flow or were a bit slow.

I I haven't got front linkage I was thinking of putting one on.I looked at the farmi hydraulic winch but I think it's about 3k and not rated for a lot.

Thats what I did with the massey, it can drag the tractor and mulcher off its belly plates when its up to its gizzards with a snatch block.

It will likely cost all of £3k to install a front linkage and PTO will it not?

Cheaper to buy a tractor with it already on and sell yours.
