What tractor do you have it on??

 

 

AGT alpine tractor.. It has nothing to do with cutting shafts as it's physically impossible to raise the machine with the shafts any longer than shown but just wanted to know though how any one running an alpine and the same winch has overcome this.... Tom and Charlie who run alpine have had to have an adapter if any one could share pics of there's that would be great.

Actually Matty, looking at your link arms I'll be t it wouldn't cost much to make up a longer set, they are dead simple and most ag engineers will keep all the required ball joints on the shelf... Might be an alternative solution, you could keep the old arms for if you ever wanted to go back..

I found mounting the 5 tonne Krpan to the 1490 DB quite tricky, no bloody room to work between the tractor/tractor wheels and the winch.

AND the PTO shaft had to be cut very short,(I did it incrementally to be sure)

and even at the longest possible length, it left the overlap marginal enough for safe working/to minimize wear, to my eye, like a couple of inches/40/50mm.

And due to the off centre mounting of the PTO stub on the Krpan winch, the angle is acute when running, especially when the winch "digs in", the PTO shaft "knocks", it really needs a (more expensive) shaft with CV joints as opposed to Hardy-Spicer joints

 

So I can only presume a tractor with shorter link arms would be even more problematic.

 

so you have my sympathy.
