Oh yes please!

What a lovely piece of engineering. :)
New challenges every month, but driving one cannot be beaten.

That's a thing of beauty, I've never seen one of them before. Fantastic.

Heyup Robert hows the u900 grafting away busy I bet with these winds. Its treedweller from arbtalk by the way. My winch has come into its own recently with windblown and hung up trees all over the shop I just wish it was a bit quicker.

theyre a gorgeous winch, incredible engineering. you pay for it though, but personally i believe the rotzler winch's are better than werner from an engineering and design point of view.

It looks a bit fancy to me. Well thought out, but I wonder how well they cope with mud?

Doing good mate, we have not had that many winds up here but it's still working away, what model winch do you have on yours, sounds like a hydraulic one by the speed.

As long as it earns it's keep that's what it's for. I'm sure that's the same make I used are those the ones that Atkinson vos sell? I go so impatient in my mates with the time it was taking to winch a tree over I jumped in the mog and threw it into reverse  :D

Thats the one. Mounted on their own bumper frame. I tend to fire the diff locks in and reverse up a yard or two aswell!! Things tend to happen a bit quicker then :)

no idea, but i would imagine it wouldnt be to much of a problem, the sensors arent too close to the cable, and the mud wont cause any kinks in the cable because the rope isnt under any strain in the drum. :)
