It would be slick to run a hydraulic pump and use a hydraulic wench.  I may have to go on the cheap and get or make a  huge hand crank winch and weld to its front bumper- I need to find some kind of worm gear drive.... here we go another project!.

What brand historically have ya'all had down there?   We have had John Deere, Massey Furgeson, Farmall, International harvester, Ford, Case and nowdays see a lot of yanmar, kubota,.. I know I am forgetting 2 or 3 big names of past tractors.. one is the orange colored tractor.. cant spit out the name... but it is on the end of my tongue...
