Description

Wallenstein FX40 4000 lb Skidding Winch is a PTO-driven tractor skidding winch designed for managing woodlots and retrieving logs, including work on steep hills. With a 4,000 lb (1,814 kg) pulling capacity, durable steel cable, manual pull rope, and a mechanical dry-disc clutch, the FX40 provides a practical solution for controlled skidding operations. Its Cat I three-point mounting system is designed for tractors in the 12–30 engine horsepower range, while the 540 rpm PTO input drives the winch for dependable operation in forestry and property-maintenance applications.

Reliable Skidding Performance for Woodlots

The Wallenstein FX40 combines a 165 ft (50 m) steel cable with a mechanical dry-disc clutch to help position and pull timber from locations that may be difficult to reach with a tractor alone. The manufacturer identifies the FX40 as a PTO-driven skidding winch with a 4,000 lb pulling capacity, making it suitable for moving wood in woodlot-management and logging applications.

A manual pull rope helps extend the cable toward the trees to be retrieved, while the supplied choker chains provide a means of securing logs for skidding. The winch also includes two keyhole sliders and is available in multiple colours.
