Sorry, I don't get all the coments? He was hooked to something tough, and where else would you put a winch? Some mentioned the front?
When he digs the outrigers in the soil, that is all that tractor will ever pull. If you hook lower, you will limit the lift on the log. May as well marry a big enough woman to pull a beer wagon, and hook her to the log.
You probably are upset that he is going to tip over? The outrigers will have to dig in pretty deep to actualy tip over the tractor..not imposible, but not very likley.
Have any of you with the ill coments ever run a backhoe other than in a parade or digging a flower out for your wife? Just kidding, but I see nothing wrong with the way he was operating the tractor and wench, other than he was hooked to something tough, and that will happen on a every hour basis.
Hooking low on the tractor like I said, limits the winch, and puts the log in the dirt more. It looks like the tractor has a rest for the log.....not to bad of a unit compared to a bare tractor and a log chain. Actualy a pretty good unit overall in my opinion.
I have never seen any logging truck, wrecker, or log skidder with a low mounted winch, let alone a front mounted one?
My intention is not to upset anyone, just defend someone.
