So I sold the original winch that I built a while back, bought a used Farmi or Fransgard and never did use it, just painted it Orange and added three new chokers and ended up selling that. I picked up this worm gear drive winch in between, It was originally hydraulically powered but the pump was rusted shut so I decided to make it into a PTO powered 3 point winch. I did gear it up a bit by replacing the sprocket that was on the hydraulic pump which was a 15 tooth same as on the winch with a 25 tooth. According to my math I geared it up 1.66% Probably not the going to be the fastest but it should work. I put about 200' of aircraft cable on the spool. It still needs a few things like the bottom plate and I'm going to build some sort of rack to hold either a 50 cal ammo box for chains or a milk crate along with the chainsaw and gas and oil. I'll keep it updated.
