Today I used the Wallenstein FX 85 Skidding Winch For The First Time! Pulled a 3,000lb Red Oak Log with ease from down in a valley. This is a fantastic attachment for your woodlot, firewood, sawmill operation. I am now able to retrieve logs that I was unable to access in the past.

Love it, Just purchased a FX40 for my B2650 HSDC, can't wait to break her in. Thanks to Huckabone Kubota in Cobden Ontario, Canada, Chris is a great guy to deal with. Thanks again.

@jeffreylane6098 4 года назад

Wow thanks for the winch Worked perfect in a pinch Skid a log out of the alley Nice to clean up that valley Great big woods it’s Mikes place To get away from the daily pace Isn’t it amazing what a life we live And you have so much to give So could please not make us wait For our next Morgan date!

@geremychubbuck3730 4 года назад

That winch is one slick rig. You really needed that tool for your operation. Nice.

@phil10000 2 года назад

Thank God for you and your wife. You know even if you did not tell me you were a Christian I would know just buy the joy and the light y’all all shine. Thanks so much

Choker chain tips: Always leave the hook mouth pointing away from direction you are pulling, opposite of how you hooked it. You don't need to thread that tail into the hook, it will slide over the links anywhere. You can hook the choker so when you start the pull it rolls the tree in the direction you need it to move by sliding it around under one side or the other.

Mike, a while back, "Wranglerstar" was skidding some logs, he placed an old car hood under the front of the log, and then started skidding the hood prevented the log from digging in an it skid without any problems. That skidding winch seems to work good, but with the soft forest soil the hood would prevent any digging in.

Can you do a video about the quick release snatch block. I didn’t know there was such a thing...

@DocRaunchy 2 года назад

Looking good, this Wallenstein winch. Should be a big help. As you said, learning some tricks and getting used to it, will make things easy and wicked fast.

@drewgordon3521 4 года назад

Just a little tip for ya when your hooking up your choker chain on a log, always put the open end of the hook facing away from the tractor/winch then it has less a chance of coming undone while in motion. My boss taught me that while logging last winter. Not trying to criticize just thought I’d share that with you. Another excellent video guys!

@4wheelliving132 4 года назад

I spotted that right away also

@drewgordon3521 4 года назад

Scott Jennings I didn’t make this comment looking for a response from mike. Wasn’t trying to be critical just thought I’d offer a piece of advice. I’ve met and spoke to Mike and Melissa before and there straight shooters and down to earth.. yes he knows a lot about many different things but he doesn’t brag or say this is how YOU have to do it it’s always this is how I (Mike) do it. I’d say I’d have to disagree with your view of his channel sir.

@jwhitley101whitleyfarms9 4 года назад

Well you choke it depending on which way you want to turn the log obviously you don't want it to go example on bottom to climb over stumps and rocks

@jwhitley101whitleyfarms9 4 года назад

And he nailed it got it to the turn and set right in for the first drag to the deck

@beefieschannel8955 4 года назад

I have been waiting for you to get a winch since i joined this channel. Glad to see you getting a chance to finally use it, its such a game changer. Arm chair quarter back time, don't stand on the down slope of the winch, or the inside of the v of the cable, if something goes wrong you are between the tractor and the log instead of being on the outside of it. Not criticizing, just a observation, i know a person dose not know it all the first time. Cant wait for more videos with the winch and seeing it on forest!!!

@petegreaves3283 4 года назад

Nice work.. Skidding winch is a game changer on getting logs.

@cumminstbd05 4 года назад

That's amazing how easily that pulls those up that hill. Looks pretty steep too. Piper and Ru are too funny. You could see their shadows in the camera and boom there they are. Can't wait to see more. Thanks for sharing. Have a day!

@richardeustice1010 4 года назад

Finally Mike, you’ve been killing me with the delay of your new toy demo!! I would love to know more about the workings and mechanics and remote operation. I’m sure you will get a little more in depth in a later video, keep on keeping on!!

@InquisitiveSearcher 4 года назад

Richard: I had the same curiosity about it's workings. I would love it if Mike would be able to take of a cover and show us a few pictures. However, taking off covers may not be that easy or Mike may not be willing to open up a new piece of equipment. So I went to the manufactures web page and found the following users/maintenance manual and it had some nice drawings at the end that give a good representation of the internal workings. www.wallensteinequipment.com/us/en/pdfviewer.aspx?pdf=2f52ba23-6319-4066-af73-31f60e0dc013

@brucealvarez9263 4 года назад

I checked out the Instagram pictures of Hunter and Ty - just wonderful. Nice of the dogs to help out with the brush clearing. Don't know what the plan is for the big saw log but my neighbor pulls whole logs out of the woods tight up against the winch all the way up to the processing area. Might want to consider pulling saw and firewood logs together back to the house rather than cutting up on the trail. Of course that assumes dragging them won't make a mess of the trails.

@ronnchase4872 4 года назад

Mike, I couldn’t sleep all night because I knew the Wallenstein was coming out today. Wow you just found a whole new inventory of firewood without having to down a tree. That thing is going to be great.

@rweiss1110ify 4 года назад

I have an old Farmi winch that is hooked up to my JD 3020. Let me tell you that the Skidding winch is a back and time saver. Also on my Farmi I can disconnect the cable from the lower wheel to bring the log right up to the blade when it's down then hook the chain to the winch. When I raise the winch, it also raises the head log to keep it clean when towing. Great video

@alanmagee1207 2 года назад

LOVE THAT WINCH.

@michaelharmon551 4 года назад

That's awesome! Made me think back in the day when I had the old Toyota land Crusier that I had a winch on front and back. My dad and I used to get firewood and I took that beast and lug those logs from out of reach places then cut and put in back of Dad's truck but that rig was ever so slow. This looks a lot faster and man how easy it is to bring 'em in. Nice set up Mike. I think you're going to like that outfit. Very nice. Oh as for that rig I had, it's long gone. I miss those days and it was pure fun to be outdoors getting wood with my Dad. We used to burn wood all the time back then. I loved the smell and the heat and enjoyment of getting those logs out where we couldn't even get to them. My Dad is 82 now and still living, Praise God. We even talk about those days. I still enjoy the outdoors but it was better then when he was able to be there with me. Enjoy life to the fullest. God Bless Michael From NW NC

Great use of the blocks, they will become your best friends.

@danmech123 4 года назад

Love the skidder winch. I was going to comment in the beginning and then, being the fast learner that you are, you put the snatch block across the road from where you were pulling. Two thumbs up. So reminded me of where I cut. One road through the center of the property, everything on the north side of the road is up the mountain, everything south is down. The road is one of the few level spots on the land. I'd really struggle without the block!

@chesterlauck734 4 года назад

As so many others have already commented, I am glad to see the skidder winch in use. Great video and glad to see that the family is doing ok after Stanley's passing

@munched55 4 года назад

What a great system! And here I am still organizing the neighbor's horses to skid logs. I'll post some vids on Instagram once we get some snow (A tractor would chew up the landscaping too much) And that Piper with the heart of a logger! Chewing down her own logs and a casual disregard around heavy equipment and OSHA.

@ishure8849 4 года назад

Gidday Morgans , good song thanks for putting them up . That skidding winch is a little ripper , that's something you could use nearly everyday of the year unlike a pool 👍 .

@wayahedia9989 4 года назад

nice and fast! I don't have a skidding winch but I do have a 900 lb winch that mounts on my rear quick hitch. I ran massive 12V power cable back from the battery and added connectors to the tractor and winch. With the 3 point hitch I can lift the front of the log when it gets close enough to the tractor. Cheap and easy solution. What I would like though is a pair of wheels I can attach to the rear of logs to they can roll over surfaces .

@olddawgdreaming5715 4 года назад

Hey Mike, you got it going for you now. That was a great job with the skidding first time with the Wallenstein fx85. You will be amazed at what you can do with that skidder. Sure glad to see Melissa and the two pups doing so well, good to see them happy again ! So Hunter has found the baby needs a little looking after and he can be the messenger 👍👍. Would love to see that clip. Thanks for sharing with us.

@wireedm1 4 года назад

That's WAY too much fun, Mike!

@SwimCoach8 4 года назад

Dayum Mike! That thing wasn't even breathing hard! Very impressive. Glad you found an anchor point on the opposite side of the trail for the second pull. Gives you a ton more flexibility in positioning the logs. Thanks for the great content.

@ritterjon 4 года назад

💥 If anyone needed a skidder attachment to get big trees out of the wood it was you Mike! That thing is a beast! I hope they let you keep it! Also, the camera shadow on Mellissa’s jacket made it look like and old fashion real camera. 🎥. Keep on tractoring!

@noc8076 4 года назад

Good to see you finally got a winch. Try not to use the lower pulley on the winch. If you pull directly to the top you lift the logs. The lower pulley is for when there is stability issues like pulling to the side. Try to angle the tractor on the trail instead, pointing the rear towards the logs. The less you have to rig snatch blocks, the better. That winch would probably pull both logs, attach the choker chains to the gliders and the logs will come together. Then just hook the chains to the blade and lift the front of the logs up and skid them home.

@johnsuch5914 4 года назад

My Sunday morning cup of coffee with the Morgans.....Awesome way to start the day then off to church...That FX 85 is slick to say the least...Be safe out there and God Bless

@kendallsteckel711 4 года назад

Mike! that skidder works`s great buddy! awsome! thats gonna help you a bunch! Great to see Melissa`s smileing face! Your a doll!Girl. love the music! keep them coming. God bless your hearts.

@nancybrown8026 4 года назад

Melissa, I loved how your happy goldies arrived just ahead of you yet when they got to Mikes's log they both looked back to see what was keeping you? My Labrador has always liked to "prune" sticks like Piper, so her nickname became Tweezer. Those two fur buddies were joyful on your beautiful crisp day in the woods. What fun and so exciting to see how easily the new skidder wench hauled up those two logs.

@rossheacock7054 4 года назад

Mike Great job with the first Tree pulled up to the road. You did your planning perfectly and got all the information you could on what you needed to do, and did it. I really respect you and your planning. Great Job.

@gumtreejunction6342 4 года назад

Piper the guard(ening) dog! Awesome piece of kit that winch. Did a good job.

@jameskimball7939 4 года назад

Nice winch I have done that with my winch on my Jeep. I was taught to hook both loops of the tree saver strap to the snatch block. So you don't choke the live tree and damage it.

@JohnSmith-tv5ep 4 года назад

James Kimball, I get what you're saying, you could strip the bark, that makes sense. In some instances though, by not 'choking ' the snatch block at the anchor point, it can 'slip' down the anchor point,before tension is on the winch cable causing the snatch block and winch line to ride at ground level. It has happened to me. What I have done is to try my best to choke the snatch block at the center apex of the winch cable load line and pull line, causing less chance of the strap wringing or choking tighter. Didn't mean to be lengthy in my explanation but hope it was understandable, Not trying to be smart or sarcastic either. Just commented on what works best for me. In situations where I have used a snatch block, every pull had a different way of rigging. Thanks.

@easttnscott7629 4 года назад

I like that equipment. I don’t have one so I use a snatch block and a rope and have to drive down the trail. It works but yours is better.

@merlewarnsholz2094 4 года назад

Mike, looks like a great new addition to your set of tools for the woods. Congrats on your addition. Enjoyed watching you work with it, and the dogs at play.

@rickylee3275 4 года назад

Mike I think you’re going to have fun with that skid winch. Make work allot easier as faster. Look forward to some nice videos of pulling some of those great trees up to the trails. Ya more firewood and mailing logs. Gland to see Melissa smiling and doing better. Hope Hunter is doing ok without Stanley being gone. God bless.

@yvesjolicoeur747 4 года назад

We have been using the same winch and love it. Amazing the possibilities it gives you to retrieve logs with restricted access, much faster and while creating even less damage to the stand. One word of CAUTION..... When winching, always be aware of the danger zone in order to position yourself in a safe area. At time stamp 8:40, I believe that you were standing on wrong side of tractor (if I understand correctly page 30 of the Wallenstein Manual). Please, don't get me wrong....love all your videos. Just thinking of your safety ;) Cheers!

@evilbrat5376 4 года назад

That is an awesome winch - finally got the thing you needed to grab them Wascally Wascal Trees you've missed for so long. Nice pull with that snatch block. that a new one on me! Old Dogs can learn new tricks. Keep them videos coming and looking forward for more on the winch and block. Be safe out there.

FUNNY seeing Piper and Ruger checking out the log and at 10.35, they both look back like..." where's Mom? Come see the big stick we found!!"

@matthewzimmerman7887 4 года назад

Like the new toy but just a safety concern. Make sure you are at least the length of the cable that is spooled out away from the log and or winch. If that cable breaks it makes for a lethal whip so if you have the remote make sure to use it.

@hdflame 4 года назад

Sorry to hear about Stanley. We lost a long time family member the day before Thanksgiving. It was tough. He only lasted about a week after we found out he had a large tumor on his spleen. It’s hard to lose a pet.

@mrtime1945 4 года назад

Now that is real logging Great job Mike

@billk8780 4 года назад

Mike, Assuming you have enough cable & a bid enough tree consider anchoring the snatch block on the opposite side of the trail that way the log will ride up onto the trail before turning or rolling. Not sure about chains, but a friendly reminder that choked sling & cable arrangements can derate load capacity by almost 1/2, so be mindful. Great video all the same!

@leol1682 4 года назад

@stevemartinez6757 4 года назад
