The other day, I bumped into a local logger, who's logging up past our place about a mile. He had broken the winch on his skidder and was heading into town (2 hrs in, 2 hrs out) to bring back a logging truck to use the clam and boom to lift it out and take it in for repair. I asked him how heavy it was. He said 2,100 lbs.
I offered to lift it out with the tractor to save him half a day. We bolted a chain to bolts on each side of the winch and hooked it on the chain hook welded to my bucket. It squated a bit but I lifted it without a problem and set it in his pickup.
The next day, I came back from the neighbours to find a case of beer in my bucket! :cool2:
