simon_brooke, It's taken a month, but I now have a new hydraulic winch for my tractor working. This should make hauling logs out of my wood so much easier!
Painting the plate and frame. The frame hanging from a piece of old baler twine, and painted green.
Winch on the tractor, view from behind.
Winch on the tractor, view from the left rear quarter. The heavy winch with its steel cable are mounted to the plate. It is linked by two hydraulic hoses to a control valve mounted on the top left of the plate. The plate is mounted by the frame to the three point linkage on the tractor, and the valve is linked by two more hydraulic hoses to the hydraulic circuit of the tractor.
