[QUOTE="mark18mwm, post: 85992, member: 9306"] Yes, I think I would prefer it low also for stability. seems though there a couple benefits to a top winch, one you could pull from front or back easily and also the higher mount would help lift the log, keeping the butt from digging in. I don't know about his but if you used a electric winch, with the newer wireless remotes that could save a lot of work fro a one man job site. I myself, would like one mounted right on my forks backstop (maybe just above the quicktach on the back, out of the way for the forks). Then you could lift the boom to help raise the butt of the log and pull it right on the forks while you are pulling it. I wish I got along better with the guy, I'd like to ask a few questions about his set up, but that guy is way,way,way out to lunch. lol I do like your thinking though, sounds like a great plan.
