Decided to post my first pictures on here. Love the site.  These are some pictures from my Dad and I's little project last november taking down some pine from his land.

While I love that farmi winch, I do want to upgrade to a little more powerful Tajfun in the future. 

We are not super high production, but this was something like 12-14 hours work for us.  All the trees wanted to go the wrong way (they were close to his garage) so we needed to pull them all towards me.  Awesome fun.  Wish I could do it a little more for real so to speak.

JD 5055e is sweet little unit! Green paint isn't cheap but very dependable. Thanks for sharing your photo's!

That looks like the same Farmi I have. Is it a JL306?

Getting the kids out and interested is the purpose of the exercise.  Nice work, and yah... I covet thy green machine  :D

I pretty much have to beg him to come out in the woods with my Dad and I.  Once he is out there though he loves it.  Nothing makes me happier than being out there too.  I have dreams of trying to pick up some land to log off for the money, firewood, excercise and to be out there with my Dad, and boy (or my wife or daughter for that matter). the best times of my life really.

It is a JL306, nice little winch, not sure what year it is but works pretty darn good.  I would really like to upgrade to a Tajfun that is a little more capable, and has all the guarding.

Love the tractor, so far it has been a beast.  Green is expensive, but dealer support around me is second to none, so it was kind of a no-brainer.  I have intentions of having a forestry package installed on it, skid plates, canopy and limb risers. It'll never be a skidder, but for what we do it is perfect, and a lot less damage to the land. Thanks for the comments.
