Operating Techniques
Other Equipment is Down the Slope (See Figure 15).
In this operation, the tractor and winch are on stable
ground and other equipment is working on a steep
slope. The winch is used to give additional control to
the equipment working on the steep slope. A winch with
a fairlead option is recommended for this operation if
alignment of the other equipment with the winch and
tractor is a problem.
Make sure the tractor and winch are on stable ground and
will not slide when the load is applied. Align the tractor and
winch with the load. Apply the parking brake on the tractor.
