Fordson Major winch

Recommended Posts

here's bit of my setup. Major (1955) on new tyres, good for skidding.

dubble drum ingland winch (3000) good for winching to grab. no anchor but high speed, even at tickover! A snatch block indeed essential!

might sell Major if interested (as also got 5t uniforest on JD)

good thing independent rear brakes as pulling wheelies is easiy done.. (cast iron front wheels but no additional weights on front. if too big/heavy just reduce the size of the tree! got two cables so still very swift job. agreed not safest, I operate the clutch from behind iso seat, easier and safer?

Yes but you can over do it and end up with the belhousing giving way

 

I see... definitely don't want that happening!

Hi Bennovet. Thanks for sharing pics. That's a nice looking set up. Do you use it for winching trees over, swell as skidding? If so, how does it cope?

 

Would you sell the Major and Winch together? And if so, what sort of money would you be looking for? Feel free to PM me if you prefer. Also, whereabouts are you situated?

 

Thanks. Rob.
