Ken, Is this the winch you are talking about?

Manufacturer of the best Portable Winch with rope · with capstan and a powerful Honda engine. Ideal for logging, rescue, construction, hunting, ATV, farming or boating

It is a capstan winch. I bought a 300' rope for myself so i can pull logs out from 300' away or double it up and pull twice the load from 150'. The yellow plastic cone in the background is to go over the front of the log so it skids easier. I am just not real comfortable having a winch attached to my loader - stresses on the arms and also worried i met get lazy and sit in the operator's seat while using it. Having the wire whip back if it broke would not be pretty.

Thanks Ken, I could use somethng like that. I found everything except the price, and where to buy locally.

They are not cheap, they list for $1295 + shipping. Not sure if it is allowed by TBN for me to say what we sell them for.

I think I've seen capstan winches similar to this in arbor est catalogs that are powered with a chain saw.
