PRE-OPERATION CHECKS

MOUNTING AND USE OF THE LOWER
SNATCHBLOCK
• Usually the logs are winched in through the
upper pulley of the winch. This lifts the logs
and they dig less into the ground. The weight
of the load also pushes the blade into the
ground thus anchoring the winch and the
tractor to the ground.
• The winch has a lower snatchblock. The main
use of the lower snatchblock is to lower the
pulling point. This enables larger loads to be
skidded out . For skidding out the load the
cable is transferred to the lower snatchblock.
• Several logs can be hooked up and winched
in at one time by means of keyhole sliders on
the cable. The skidding chain should have a
pin on the end, which makes it easier to pass
