Snatchblock Pulley System

The winch cable runs through an upper and lower snatchblock on all FX models for a more efficient and safer pull. The top pulley provides a high entry point, forcing down-pressure onto the blade and lifting the logs. The lower pivoting snatchblock keeps the weight low, especially important for smaller tractors. On the larger models, the lower snatchblock is vertically adjustable for the perfect balance of efficiency and lift.

 

Removable Clutch Assembly

The heart of the FX winch is easily removable for servicing.

Keyhole Sliders

At the end of the winch cable are three keyhole sliders that slide along the cable. Keyhole sliders and choker chains are ideal for winching multiple logs together, saving you time and energy. Each chained log is attached to a keyhole slider which gathers together as you began to winch.

Safety Screen

The strong wire mesh screen keeps the tractor cab and operator safe during winching and skidding.

Tow Bar

Along the top of the anchor blade is a tow bar with slots designed to keep chains secure during travel. Hook up multiple logs to skid out of the woods while keeping the winch free.

Winch Cable End

The FX Skidding Winch now only requires 2 Choker Chains. The crimped plug end fastens in the key hole slider allowing it to be used as the third choker chain.
