Very nice pics. You don't see many hydraulic winches on tractors down here. I am interested in what made you decide on a hydraulic over PTO winch. I am looking for a way to put a forestry winch on my little doser. That unit you have might work for me

The winch requires only 5 gpm to operate so the tractor at ~17 gpm can handle it easily at 12 to 14 hundred RPM.
I believe the hydraulic system may be more trouble free and easier to work on than the clutch.
But this is the first skidding winch I have had so take it from there.
The wireless remote, which was on sale with the winch also pulled me in.

Yesterday - started with the middle buster on, took that off, and hooked up the tiller.
Tilled the garden area (it keeps raining) with hope of soon getting some corn, purple hulled peas, and multiple types of beans planted.
Took off the tiller and put on the finish mower and gave our yard the second cutting of the season.
Took the finish mower off and put the tiller back on in hopes of using it today to get the garden a little finer after its dried a little more. I may have to get the walk behind tiller and use it as it has less of a footprint.

Dug a little hole with my 46 Backhoe to replace a not so anti-freeze hydrant. Turns out I ran out of arm length with the 46 at ~4.5 feet, so I had to dig the other 2 feet by hand to reach the bottom of that thing.

So did you figure out the problem? I have a similar problem and I was wondering if my gravel dry well at the bottom wasn't draining or something.

How many Feet per minute does that thing pull and what is the rated pulling capacity? my brain seems to thinks its either slow or doesn't pull much. I looked at a used winch off a wrecker and it was more like 20 gpm and still not that fast.

A warn 9000 lb winch tops out at 45.4 feet/min @ 15 gpm on 4 layers of cable but could be as slow as 28.5 ft/m 6000 lb winch is only a few fpm faster at same capacity.

I got rid of some old stumps today.

I attacked the one on the right first. It would not wiggle at all when I started and I was about ready to give up on it then it started to wiggle a little when I would push on it. One thing that was hurting me was it was very wet were the stump was. If it would have been dry it would have made things a lot easier. The stump was way to big to go in the grapple. I think the one tree there was 32'' and the other was 28'' across the butt. I finally got it out. Now I need to get the one out on the left. I have it loosened up but it is really big too. It is going to rain tomorrow so it will be a mud hole there. After I get this last stump out here I am going to try to get it to drain better in that area.
