Forestry winch

I put a remote control onto my pto Werner.

 

Awesome winches if you can pick 1 up.

 

 

 

I'm worried this type isn't going to have the pull that I need. Going to be shifting big elm stems about 5ton

Krpan winches are great value and power , hydraulic feed and remotes may put it out of budget but you won't beat them on price on a standard unit.

Anyone have an idea what make/model this is? No maker plate or markings

Looks like a 6 tonne double drum Fransgard. I'd expect from the 80s.

[Higgs89]

Cheers, 3t on each drum or 6t on each drum?

[Brushcutter]

If it's a 6 then it's 6 a drum.

 

Difficult to tell from the photo but it looks around the size of a 6 tonne. You can yard with both drums or use one drum as in and the other as out.

Great, thanks for the info. Now, I don't suppose anyone has a old manual Lying around or knows where I can get one? It's need of some tlc as you can see

[Brushcutter]

Try AT Osborne i think they are still Fransgard agents.

 

The metal arm with the hole in is the engage disengage leaver. The big nuts hold the drums in and the little nuts either side adjust the pressure on the clutch pate when it's engaged.

 

Take the the drums out clean the back end of the plate up and look for glazing. Check the drive chain that comes up from the PTO to the shaft that drives the drums.

Thanks for your help, I'll check them out 👍

Pto would be best way to transfer the engine power through to the winch( unless you have an old mog with under belly pto for hydraulics) werner are a great winch and pritty quick, just trying to find one and the price of one are the issues!
