    There's been a dead cherry on the edge of one of our wood lots for some time. I've been meaning to get it on the ground and turn it into firewood but haven't found the time. Till a few days ago. And I used my homemade log winch mounted on the trusty kubota B7610. I wanted to drop the tree on a pile of brush to reduce clean up. I hit it on the money thanks largely to the winch and a snatch block.

    Since I know everyone likes pictures, here are a couple;

    Nice setup Dascro!
    I could use one for my Kubota.
    Can we get some close ups of your homemade log winch?

    Nice Tractor and set up you've got. Plus you got to play with the saw and get some wood in the process... Nice job! :yes:

    Thanks for all the good words. I'll get a pic of my winch over the weekend and post it.
