Norse 450 winch

[fruitcakesa]

After searching for 2 years, I finally found a used logging winch in decent shape for reasonable money.
A guy in the next town over posted it 3 days ago and I jumped right on it.
Hooking up was helped by the 3ph telescoping lower arms.
Norse 450. Good size for the 6040.

Nice find! I'd love to find one, I've got about 30 acres to clear tops out of after having it logged off.

I literally check CL every day when I am on the hunt for something.
That way I can hopefully be the first to call if something turns up
I determine what I really want/need and a price range.
All that searching gives one a feel for the market, item condition and value.
Ideally, I look locally but for the right item I will travel

Yes

Yes

I saw it advertised and thought it was a good deal.

It was; most of the others I found were asking near new pricing for well used winches.

Logging winches are so useful, I have a Farmi, I purchased new after 2 years searching for a reasonably priced used one, so few come up for sale. How do you like your winch?

Though I used it for the first time yesterday, I already love it.
Much of my woodlot is relatively inaccessible and the winch will finally allow me to log it.

They are handy. I have a small Farmi winch and it is great working in the woods.

Wound up buying this one over Vermont, picked it yesterday. It's in great shape less then 2 years old. Got for a grand under list. Uniforest 30E
