I made a mistake when I built it and the winch was spinning opposite of what I intended. I had to add both idler sprockets to reverse the chain direction so it's quite a bit longer than originally planned. It doesn't hurt anything though. I could drop the winch down but it would require reworking quite a bit and there's no functional need to do so.

Hi there, I'm not familiar with a Garwood winch, sorry about that!

I haven't added screening because I'm not running the winch while sitting on the tractor and I do not use the cable for holding logs while driving the tractor out. I have chain grab hooks for that reason. I'll make another video soon to show how it is now. Which video doesn't allow comments? Everything looks like it's enabled on my end.

I'm in the United State of America.

That's a good question. I didn't actively track expenses but shouldn't be difficult to get a ballpark.

That’s the question I asked as well, you said about 2K!

Thanks Dave, I couldn't remember who else asked that question.

I explain it more in another video here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l9SShM51ucWsqJc.html
