This handy attachment has been in the back of my tractor for a few years. You always see it, but it’s time to show what it can do. Thanks for watching.

I have an HD36V2 Norwood sawmill and it does an excellent job milling lumber for me. It has a few quirks that I wish the designers would have done differently, but overall a great machine for the price. Were's the beef!!

Where’s the beef! 😂 I love beef- but it doesn’t love me! I have a friend with a Norwood- I’ve done a few modifications with him on it, we’ve added back stops that all 3 can be raised and lowered from the operators side. I buy one of their log turner kits if they’d sell it it to me and I make it work on my mill.

That’s a great set up and makes life a lot easier in the bush.....CHEERS

Great setup. I leave my farmi winch on the tractor year round. It's a life saver. Drag logs, fell trees, get machine unstuck, pull cars out of ditches, the list goes on....

I haven’t seen a winch like that before. Very cool!

@OpenAirAdventure 3 ай бұрын

It's definitely a versatile machine. The drum and rope worked very well pulling the log.

Thanks for showing the winch. I've considered getting one of these. I like the gas-powered ones, too.

Hey Jeff. Love watching your micro forestry. I live on an old farm with 40 acres of land and try to tiddle in the woods with a small chainsaw and 4wheeler at least once a week. Keep a guy moving abit with disabilities

@thelogfather5002 3 ай бұрын

Keep moving, better to wear out than rust out!

@jbbrown7907 3 ай бұрын

When picking up tittley winks, you always puck up the top one first. Same with logs.

I didn't know this existed and would save me time dragging out fallen down and dead spruce logs that I either using my Norwood logging arch with wheeler or 3 pt hitch triangle attachment on tractor and chain but need to make more of a path now. Always another useful tool but never enough money.

@thelogfather5002 3 ай бұрын

The price is pretty reasonable, I’m not sure what the current price is- when I bought this one a few years ago, it was around $1600 Canadian.

Nice video. I got the same winch in part based on your videos. It's a great tool. I use mine often with a skidding yellow cone (especially in the forest with stumps and branches). I did a little modification to the frame so it goes on the iMatch.

@thelogfather5002 3 ай бұрын

I skidding cone would be a great idea.

Great video. Neat tool for the back of the tractor. Would upright rollers help with keeping the rope in line when pulling off to the side a bit. Thanks and have a great day 👍🏻👍🏻👋👋🪵🪓🔥

I wondered the same thing. I just might come up with something like that some day.

@roneberle8954 3 ай бұрын

Hey Jeff I wonder if that horizontal fairlead had two verticals on either side then that might increase the safe radius for incoming line? Eliminating the potential "birdsnest" conglomeration? Cheers capt'n Ron

I wondered that- I bet it’d work

Why don't you cut the chunks off after you get the log home?

Hi Jeff. How well does the winch work pulling up a steep hill?

@thelogfather5002 3 ай бұрын

Up hill is no problem, down hill can be sketchy.

@MatthiasLee 3 ай бұрын

It's a great little winch, I picked up the same one recently. I do wish it had a valve on it. What's the grapple you use?

@thelogfather5002 3 ай бұрын

The power beyond it runs off of needs the constant hydraulic flow- I’m not sure what kind of valve I’d need. I’m using a modified frontier grapple. It’s fairly weak as it comes.

@MatthiasLee 3 ай бұрын

@@thelogfather5002 modified grapple? Did you upgrade the cylinder?

@thelogfather5002 3 ай бұрын

@MatthiasLee yes, new cylinder and I replaced the weak metal on the top of the grapple. There’s a video about it a while ago.

Hi Jeff!!😀😀 What a bummer not being able to enjoy a nice beef steak. Are you able to eat pork? Take care my friend!!😀😀💚💚 Logger Al

I still enjoy beef! But I need to be home in order to pay the price. 😂 Pork is no problem.

@petep7227 3 ай бұрын

Have you pulled any bigger hardwoods? Upwards of 20” diameter? I’m considering this winch but I have a lot of hardwoods and steep hills and concerned I’ll max out the pulling power.

@thelogfather5002 3 ай бұрын

If you max out the power- just add a snatch block to double its strength. The biggest log I’ve yarded was a 30” pine about 24 feet long. It was all it could handle- and I had to help it over a few obstacles with a peavy.

@JohnMcNerney 3 ай бұрын

Per Norwood, the maximum pulling power of this winch is 1500 pounds for a single line pull. If you rig a snatch block, you can double that pulling force, but it moves at half the speed.

@petep7227 3 ай бұрын

@@thelogfather5002thanks, I’d rather not have to double the line too regularly. I’m going back and forth between this and a pto forestry winch. Leaning toward pto with more pulling power. Would rather have more than I need than have to double the line all the time.
