WINCHING
Before using the winch, you have
to pull the cable completely out
of the drum and winch the cable
back on the drum with a heavy
load. Otherwise the cable will be
damaged.
• Park the winch and tractor on level, stable ground.
Lock the brakes of the tractor before winching. Lo-
wer the 3-point hitch so that the dozer blade an-
chors the winch to the ground. See fig. 9
.
Do not let the dozer blade sink
too deeply into the ground, so
that the PTO shaft is not dama-
ged.
• Before using the skidding winch, make sure that
the lower diverting pulley, the upper diverting
pulley and the finger guard move freely.
Fig. 9. Anchor the dozer blade to the ground.
1. Draw the cable to the load but avoid twitches.
Do not draw out too much cable to avoid loose
spaces when the cable is reeled in.
2. Start the tractor, turn the PTO on. Use the winch
with the control rope and stand in a safe place at
a distance of at least 2 m (6 ft) from the winch. Use
the upper diverting pulley when winching.
3. Operate the clutch firmly. Avoid sliding the clutch
to avoid warming of the clutch. Stop winching by
letting go of the control rope for the leave. The
clutch will slip when the load is heavier than the
selected pull. This prevents damages to the cab-
le or winch. Avoid extra large loads. The winding
speed depends on the number of revolutions of
the tractor. Do not wind too fast.
4. Stop winching when the logs are at about
1,5-3 m (5-10 ft) from the tractor. Install the cable
on the lower diverting pulley.

SKIDDING
Fig. 11. Cable on the lower diverting pulley
1. Turn the P.T.O on. Pull the clutch control rope and
winch the logs to the pulley. Keep the tension on
the cable and pull the thinner rope that operates
the brake ratchet. Stop pulling on the clutch rope
first. The load is now locked in place. Alternatively
the skidding chains can be attached to the not-
ched beam.
2. Turn off the P.T.O.
3. Raise the 3-point hitch so that the logs come off
ground (fig. 12.).
4. Move the logs to the desired place.
