Not on a Timberwolf, (they wouldn’t entertain the idea of hydraulic and I wouldn’t entertain the idea of electric)

 

But I had a 3,5t one on my Jensen, can’t remember the make, American, Ramsey perhaps?

 

if you’re spending a bit of dough in a winch and plate etc have a serious thought about going remote controlled - that’d really be the icing on the cake!
got a remote controlled hydraulic winch on my wee forwarder, improves winching efficiency immensely 

 

where are you planning to mount it? Under or above the hopper? Mine Was mounted low down under the hopper, brilliant for heavy work, pulling trees over, skidding whole trees, logs etc.

 

 there’s a Norwegian firm that supplies brackets to hold the winch over the hopper for dragging, less capacity, faster and remote controlled - good for dragging bundles of brash and tops straight up into the hopper 

Would be mounted under the feed hopper. Don’t like the idea of a electric winch eating batteries and over heating if we wanted use it often on a job

Looking at putting a Hydraulic Winch on my Wolf tracked 230. Does anyone have recommendations on Hydraulic winches on chippers ? 

Some help please . looking to buy my first stump grinder and stuck between the predator 360 or the FSI B20 what are your thoughts please ? Thanks
