[@Bradley-b8b]

Just got to say, awesome bigfoot with a saw logo. Wish I had thought of that. By the way, I own bigfoot logging in Mississippi, I was in September 2019 southern logging time magazine. 1 truck with a cable loader and a tractor no loader. I load logs with just a pto cable loader homemade out of a rear end and drill pipe with pulleys, 1992 Ford f700 single axle and carrying 10-15 tons piggy back, no tandom axle. Look me up. Heck, 8ft down here pine can go as short as 12.5 and hardwood/pallet wood minimum 18.5 , you got me thinking I need to move to Tennessee, logging seems better there

[@billybobs841]

If u keep winding up the choker bells on rollers u be tieing your cabel it makes them brake the main cabel

Great video., Take care New Brunswick Canada 🇨🇦

[@BackwoodsTN]

Thanks Jamie!!

[@williamp4484]

One thing you’ll have to watch for is if there is to much backlash in the cable is a loop of cable will get over those ears and knot everything up or break the cable. Looks like that one has had it done before looks like by the wear marks around it.

[@BackwoodsTN]

Yes for sure! We will have to watch out for that

[@joetrimble9513]

Good video and glad you’re back to work! I’m sure it has been frustrating with the winch issues! In your way to 10k that’s great. Oh yea I enjoyed your live stream that Sat morning for some reason I couldn’t comment during it.

[@BackwoodsTN]

Oh ok thanks Joe! Glad you enjoyed it! I hate it woudknt let you comment

[@jamesconn7311]

Yes Sir . I have enjoyed the video , glad yall got her fixed & getting to work it !! Reminds of an 80 model Ford P.U. engine swap from a 300 / 6 to a 351 Winsdor , The Mechanic i bought it from install it , nothin would work right , He said was like a Night mare on Elm st .!! He finally got it done , Murphys Law what can go wrong might go wrong !! this was mid 80's . Can Yall tell if the JD winch works better ?? Thanks Yall take Care !!

[@BackwoodsTN]

Hey James! From our experience so far it seems like the JD will be better long term. Doesn’t even offer to slip at all which we like. Hard to tell long term yet tho!

[@jamesconn7311]

@@BackwoodsTN Hey !! That's great,all the hard work has paid off ,Good Luck with it !! Take Care,tell everyone,we said Hello

[@danniebuckner7565]

Hello guys.... I heard you mention something about backlash on that john deere winch in the video. There's a way to put tension on the drum to keep it from freewheeling so much. Should have a big nut on a threaded bolt on outside of case to put more tension on drum. From back of skidder looking toward front should be on the right side. Just loosen jam nut and turn tension bolt in as someone drags cable to get desired tension. Love the videos guys. Please be safe and Happy Logging.....

[@BackwoodsTN]

Thanks Dannie! We have looked into that and we think we have it set right! Are you new to the channel?

[@muddflapthelogdog4739]

You best set that free spool or you'll be digging knots out!!!!!!

[@BackwoodsTN]

Yes sir!

[@cedricgates9976]

dont know about that one but the one on my 440 ya had to watch it and catch it when ya let the hitch off or what a mess

[@BackwoodsTN]

Yea we have been told you have to be real careful with the free spool

[@lewiemcneely9143]

Glad yall got it. I ran dragliunes and had to fool with bands and clutches off and on. If you got them set the'd work till you had to set them again. Job security. Conner's hair will be GONE in a month. He'll be as bald as ME! God Bless Yall

You should trade that timberjack for a John Deere. I had a 440 and a 548D cable and grapple. Awesome machines

[@Boneshaker420]

Lower class fab KZbin channel has a timberjack with the winch. They are scraping the skidder but keeping the motor if yall need parts.

Gearmatic winches in humid countries sweat and are forever slipping and rusting up regards north Queensland Australia

[@BackwoodsTN]

Exactly! We figured that out real quick!

[@stephenhaney661]

I'll be at the show,it only takes about 45 minutes to get there from our house

[@BackwoodsTN]

That would be nice! It’s about 6 hours for us

[@loggingdaddy]

All ones I've seen have a vent on top of the left side cover. Also I'm not sure why it should leak out of the top of that gasket you showed (2nd leak) that tells me you totally filled the which with hydraulic fluid. The level plug is on front of winch by that cobbled up plate that holds the winch cable coming from cab.

[@BackwoodsTN]

Thanks for the comment! I’ll try to look into that

[@woodcutter6235]

The wife and I will be there. We get there on Thursdays afternoon till Sunday noon or so

[@BackwoodsTN]

Alright if we come we hope to see you there!

[@shannonwatts9694]

Just asking could you not just spool the cable on there backwards to make it spin the right direction

[@stevenwescott1422]

I don’t believe so. Main line would contact fuel tank. At 27m 31s you’ll see why that would bother. Jmtc

[@BackwoodsTN]

Unfortunately not because the drive shaft the goes to the winch spun contrary to the winch and would burn the trans up

[@johnhunt5090]

Looking good Landon tell Tommy B too do some logging for me I'm still out for logging till August 13

I'm sorry but why would you want to put a John 🦌 wintch on a timber jack? I ran a timber jack 225 in Missouri for 8 years and with no problems at all with the wintch!!! You can't tell me John 🦌 has a better wintch!! I guess it about the content of your blog. A wintch is a wintch no matter what color the paint is. You tell me how John 🦌 winches are better than timber Jack's an I will continue watching your channel. Be safe out there an waiting for your reply

[@BackwoodsTN]

Well the JD winch is gear driven and the gearmatic is drum and band driven. Gearmatic slips a lot easier so to be honest the JD winch is a better winch but I’m not saying it was worth the time or aggravation lol
