Background on the Farmi JL 351 and JL 351 P Skidding
Winches
The Farmi JL 351 and JL351 P skidding winches are loaded with features to
ensure safe and productive operation on small tractors.
Both the clutch and the drum lock are rope controlled. The operator
can stand safely to the side, away from the cable and the logs. Both
models have identical winch mechanisms with the famous Farmi sensor,
coiler and brake system.
The clutch control rope runs through a swivel on top of the winch.
The winch can, therefore, be operated from any direction. This is an
important feature for the operator, as he can control the winch from a
place where he can see the load as he is pulling it in. Good vision
will enable the operator to prevent loads from hooking up behind stumps
and roots and also to reduce damage on the remaining trees.
This feature also enhances operator safety and production. Without
leaving the tractor seat, one can release the load, drive out of adverse
conditions and winch the load in again. When winching from the
tractor seat, one must have the optional protective screen installed
between the winch and the operator. The clutch enables the operator
to select any pull from zero to maximum pull of winch. The clutch
will slip when the load is heavier than the selected pull. This
prevents damage to the cable or winch even if the load gets hooked behind
a stump or root.
The clutch has a 5 year part warranty.
A new clutch can be riveted on the old sprocket so the clutch is easy and
inexpensive to replace. The sturdy upper sprocket acts as a heat
sink and absorbs the heat generated in the clutch when winching, so the
clutch will not burn out.
The winch frame is high. The high point of pull is very beneficial
as it creates down-pressure on the winch when winching. The
down-pressure pushes the blade or legs into the ground which anchors the
winch and tractor in place.
After the logs are winches in, one slips the cable under the lower
snatchblock for skidding the load out. The lower snatchblock lowers
the point of pull so one can pull out much larger loads. The thin
winch frame keeps the weight close to the tractor, large net loads can
therefore be skidded out. ROPS cab, and frontend weight or frontend
load is a must.
Four logs can be winched in and skidded out hooked to the cable. An
additional six logs can be hooked up and skidded out from the notches on
the winch frame.
The wire rope has a steel core and stays flexible even with use. The
wire rope is fastened to the winch drum on the outside so the fastening
will not cause tangle inside the drum.
The upper pulley has a shield which prevents the cable sliders from
jamming into the pulley.
Clutch adjustment, brake adjustment, replacing the cable and all other
service can be done without any disassembly of the winch. Repair of
the winch is also very easy because the entire winch mechanism can be
removed in one piece after removal of six (easy to get to) bolts. |
