DESCRIPTION

The Fransgard Forest Winch V-3521 is a professional-grade 3-point PTO logging winch built for landowners, farmers, and forestry crews who demand reliable timber extraction power. Designed for 25–45 HP tractors, this heavy-duty unit delivers up to 7,275 lbs of pulling capacity, making it ideal for hardwood thinning, storm cleanup, and firewood operations.

Its high-mounted top pulley lifts logs quickly for cleaner pulls and reduced ground drag, while the reinforced drive chain and smart clutch system protect your equipment under load. The integrated safety screen shields the operator, and optimal cable spooling extends wire rope life. If you need a durable, tractor-mounted forestry winch that works season after season, the V-3521 delivers strength, safety, and efficiency in every pull.
