We need a wobble thread.

Is there any extra wear on the sliders with the chain ?

 

If by sliders you mean the fairleads, there is no noticeable wear. Instead of being horizontal, the fairleads are vertical and then there is a large single roller above the chain outlet.

 

It is a lot nicer handling the chain than a wire rope; no risk of strands coming undone and causing injury; and the chain travels through the brash easier than a wire rope would. I would imagine the chain will outlast a wire rope as well.

Here's my 1996 landini blizzard 65 equipped with one of the first farmi winch manufactures

Wow that tractor is in cracking condition for its age- I assume you keep it indoors?

Thanks guys. My father in law bought that winch 30 years ago and used it quite a bit. He said when he bought it it was like new with the paint still on...hard to believe. It was mounted on the back of a david brown 990 which died last year.

 

I then got that landini, the previous owner was doing snow removal with it and before that the tractor was used in a blueberry farm operation so it never worked hard and only has 3500 hours. It was pretty rusted especially the rear fenders, they were actually crumbling in my hands from all the rust. I took them all off had a guys make new one from sheet metal, painted the entire tractor and voila. It is now stored inside, I don't want to have to paint it again.

Came across this mini Fendt today when out looking for a tractor. The guy reckons it was used for orchard work, was about 85hp and could lift a few ton on the rear linkage.
