- 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.

Love watching backyard content.. Thanks Jeff.. Lots of interesting ideas .. The winch looks great!!
Thanks for the comment on Facebook I like your content
You’re very welcome!
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.
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....
Great setup! Sharing some personal information just makes your channel more human! Cheers!
I bet the AI content creator isn’t allergic to anything… 😂
That’s a great set up and makes life a lot easier in the bush.....CHEERS
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
Keep moving, better to wear out than rust out!
It's definitely a versatile machine. The drum and rope worked very well pulling the log.
I haven’t seen a winch like that before. Very cool!
Thanks for showing the winch. I've considered getting one of these. I like the gas-powered ones, too.
Great little video Jeff Tks for you time . 😊
Always great content Jeff. I learn a little something through uo with every video.
I appreciate that!
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.
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.
I skidding cone would be a great idea.
That looks like exactly what I need.
When picking up tittley winks, you always puck up the top one first.
Same with logs.
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.
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

I wondered that- I bet it’d work
Why don't you cut the chunks off after you get the log home?
Hi Jeff!!😀😀
What a bummer not being able to enjoy a nice beef steak. Are you able to eat pork?
Take care my friend!!😀😀💚💚

I still enjoy beef! But I need to be home in order to pay the price. 😂 Pork is no problem.
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?
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.
@@thelogfather5002 modified grapple? Did you upgrade the cylinder?
@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. How well does the winch work pulling up a steep hill?
Up hill is no problem, down hill can be sketchy.
Did Jeff get a new camera 🎥 ?
Nope, same old camera.
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
@@petep7227 how big is your tractor?

Just eat more bacon!
All bacon, all the time. 😂
