Tractor Winch Beats Wreckers

Tractor Winch Beats Wreckers MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT Miscellaneous 6-3-9 F.W. Carey, Jr., of Pocomoke City, Md., needed a heavy-duty winch that could do things wreckers weren't made to do. After trying various truck mounts, he finally tractor-mounted a heavy-duty winch from an old wrecker. The winch mounts on a Cat. I or II 3-pt. hitch and is driven with either a hydraulic motor or tractor pto. Carey's frame will handle winches rated from 1,000 to 100,000 lbs. of pull. "During the past year, this winch has paid for itself ten times over doing jobs ranging from pulling stuck combines to pulling out tree stumps in orchards," Carey told FARM SHOW. Carey would like to find a manufacturer to develop the winch. For more information, contact: FARM SHOW Followup, F.W. Carey, Jr., Route 1, Box 238, Pocomoke City, Md. 21851 (ph 301 957-1234).
