Krpan forestry winch

[JJT]

Hi JJT. Did you have a specific place in mind? Just looked at three different Vermont vendors, none of whom go down to the size of unit I'm after. All list only larger, 3501 and up.

Sent you a private message with the details, I think vendor specifics are frowned upon in the open forum.

Thought I'd already replied to this, but anyway, contacted them-no winches in stock, no idea if or when....

Same story everywhere I've checked, from Massachusetts to Colorado-no winches in stock, especially smaller ones like I need. Not a one.

In July of 2020, I paid $2900 with everything and that included:

1, Igland 3501 winch with PTO shaft, 165' of 10 mm cable, 3 chokers and 3 sliders - $2,645.00
1, 5" diameter sheave - $55.00
1, Igland self releasing sheave - $200.00

Total $2,900.00
No sales tax

If you pay by check the shipping was free with a commercial loading dock delivery address which I had. It shipped from NH to NJ.

I had to edit this a few times so that I would get it all correct. I am guessing with our government induced inflation the price would be more now and there is probably a long lead time as well. I cannot wait until our government finally follows what more than 10 countries have done now and that is to drop all this mandate/face mask/vaccine etc. I can't wait until they remove the face mask stuff on public transport. They have now dropped it on school buses. I don't get the logic because there is none, just like there is no science, even when they say there is.

I hope that you can find a winch sooner than later and that you will not have to pay an arm and a leg for it.

P.S. I was quoted in June of 2018 a price of $2,595.00 for the 3501 with everything the same minus the 2 sheaves. So the price had not changed that much in 2 years time but of course that was without the covid lockdowns as well.

Thanks Rob, good to know. Just no winches of type I need-in any paint job-available at this time.

Maxx Forestry had Uniforest 35Ms as of last summer when I bought one from them. Hud-Son had them too. I don't know if Maxx normally sells to individuals but you can call them and ask, and ask who their dealers are so you can call and check with them.

They may distribute other brands as well.

Thanks Eric. Maxx has nothing

A lot of discussion a while back about how hard it was to find used winches. I just happened to see this in CL. It's in North East VT - Right off Rte 91

^^^^^
That will make a good winch for somebody.

 

[robpm]

that is a good price especially with the extra cable too!

I'm amazed the CL posting is still up.... I figured that would sell in a heartbeat.
