    After hauling some rounds today my back is killing me. I was looking on CL and found this winch setup, looks like it would need a gas engine install?

    You could use the hydraulics on your splitter.

    Well then, that winch looks like it has everything needed but an engine and half a lovejoy.

    The seller had an 8 hp gas engine on it, he's asking $475 obo or trade. I'm looking for set up to mount on the front end of a trailer with an I-beam/trolley.

    That is what I need for my tractor! I have been wanting to build one sort of like that for winching logs up out of the ravine. Seems like a decent price for the whole setup.

    It's not mine, just something I saw when looking for ideas for the splitter I'm building.

    Must be in Germany then!! Typical "German" scenario. A $200k brand new tractor, a $20k wood processing machine, an engineer right out of school making $250k, wearing brand new digs costing the "state" $1,200 each, $940 boots, $300 Kevlar gloves, all fancy colored in bright German colors, and all they could find to use it on was one 35" stump!!

    Sweet Chebby/Jimmy! You must be "out west" from the look of those 2 trucks and the lack of rust. That vintage is worth surprising $$ east coast.

    So I picked up the winch today, pump/cable included. I traded an item for it so I think I did ok on the deal. The tank is an old fuel tank so I might need to rethink it's use, maybe add a filter? :)

    Yep. It's also a crew cab, one ton on the passenger side, and a reg. cab 1/2 ton on the driver's side! :D

    Here's what it looks like from the back! It's a very patriotic truck!

    .... Actually, I just swapped the bumpers. :emb:
