Description
The Wallenstein FX140R 14,000 lb Skidding Winch is a PTO-driven mechanical winch designed for demanding log skidding and forestry work with 80–120 engine HP tractors. Its 14,000 lb (6,350 kg) pulling capacity, 165 ft (50 m) steel cable, remote-control operation, and mechanical dry-disc clutch provide practical pulling performance for moving timber through challenging terrain. Supplied in the steel-cable remote-control configuration identified as FX140R-RED, this winch is suited to agricultural, forestry, and land-management operations that require dependable tractor-powered skidding equipment.
Product Overview
The FX140R uses a tractor PTO to drive its mechanical winch system, with a required PTO input speed of 540 rpm. The dry-disc clutch supports controlled winch operation, while the remote-control configuration allows the operator to control the winch without relying solely on manual controls at the machine. With a line speed of 98–246 ft/min (30–75 m/min), the winch is equipped to handle efficient cable deployment and log recovery operations.
The included 1/2 in (13 mm) steel cable measures 165 ft (50 m), providing useful reach between the tractor and the load. Two choker chains are included for securing loads during skidding. The FX140R has a transport width of 59 in (150 cm), an overall length of 28 in (71 cm), and a total weight of 898 lb (407 kg).
