So i have got a JD 5425 tractor.
In the winter I put a large underslung plow blade on it to clear about 7 km of road that I need to get to the main highway.
The thing is from time to time the tractor gets stuck and it is a Pain and a half to get it out.
I am thinking of attaching a winch of some kind.
As i see it i could do either a standard bolt on truck winch, would have to be about a 20,000 lb winch to be able to pull out a machine of this size.
Or i could put a pto powered logging winch on the 3pt hitch. But then i would lose my 3pt back blade which I use all the time. I don't see it being practical to attach a winch anywhere on the front of the machine.
Other option is to weld a bracket onto the back blade and attach the winch to that.
Anyone have experience in this matter or suggestions on winching in general? Thx

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
