I used them on many log skidders in the U.P., ATV's also
Worked great
Does anyone sell these to fit our machines?
I agree that a setup for the option for 2 would be the way to go. adapters each side. could then choose which ya wanted to use. As long as the adpaters were flush to the tire they would not cause to much problem with catchin' on stuff. Maybe leave the mounting bolts in the adapters to keep the mud out
Hmmm, a capstan winch with a 29hp engine behind it? That is a pretty potent pulling device. I would say you need to jack the whole machine off the ground and then anchor it down, though. At least attach the front winch to a solid object.
I carry a come along with me for backup, its under $50 and has many uses not just for the 6x6. Not putting this setup down but if your stuck i'm assuming your wheels are deep in the mud. Good luck spooling that thing up in a mud hole.
This place used to make them but it was a few yrs ago so I don't know.

Not too hard to have somebody make Ya a setup like this, just use rims as the drum. can unbolt them pretty fast. bigger rim here but the consept is the same on a 8" up etc
Thanks Nubs. I like that idea as a back up to my winch on the front. Especially if there is no place to winch from in the front i can use a back wheel to pull with. Of course this depends on the price it takes for me to fab one up in the shop compared to the cost of buying a winch for the rear.
I'm with you I think I will make one too.
