Before deciding on a winch model, it is important to know the capacity of your tractor, the terrain on which you are likely to use it and how often you will use it. For example, smaller winches are more suitable for smaller and lighter tractors. If you plan to handle logs on flatter, smoother terrain, one of the simpler models may suffice (such as the eco), but when operating on slopes, any winch with a gearbox, preferably electro-hydraulic with an integrated gearbox, is a better choice.

Occasional users generally opt for mechanical winches. On the other hand, professional or more intensive use requires an electro-hydraulic winch. The latter increases safety, ease of use and efficiency compared to the same range as the mechanical skid winch. The electro-hydraulic models are the most demanding of our wide range of winches, but users are really satisfied with their performance.

That is not possible. The unwinding device can only be mounted on the electro-hydraulic winch.

Winches with the reductor reduce the speed of the wire. The winches with no reductor have an average speed of 0.9m/s at 540rpm, while the ones with a reductor, have a winding wire speed of about 0.6m/s at 540rpm. A slower pace means safer work and less load in case the log is stuck on an obstacle. Skidding is more efficient due to the lower engine speed and consequently fuel usage. On top of that, tractors with lower power can pull heavier logs due to the more gradual winding.

A multi-plate clutch prevents slipping or overheating thanks to the bigger bearing surface.

Intense forestry work is better met with the skidding winches equipped with a gear drive from the G and GK series as well as with the winch heads. No chains or chain links are used in the operation of these winches, while all the components of the gear are submerged in oil. The latter is a closed system that prevents dirt and foreign particles intrusion and thus results in less maintenance and longer service life of the skidding winch.  

When investing in the professional winch, it is likely to expect: 

• a lower maintenance costs due to the above-mentioned enclosed system of the gear components in the oil bath, 
• the winch drum placed along the driving direction can be wider, thus it allows for a longer wire rope while less pulling force is lost (also applies to the models without constant pulling force), 
• a longer lifespan of the wire rope thanks to single direction winding and unwinding, 
• the engine is bolted to the butt plate, so the latter can be easily replaced for a wider/narrower or even foldable hinged butt plate (when refurbishing or selling the winch), 
• the engine is placed behind the frame of the butt plate and is this way protected from damage.

The worm drive allows higher gear ratios and is resistant to shock loads. The worm is made out of high alloy steel, and the worm ring consists of special wear-resistant bronze. To provide higher efficiency and longer life span, the worm drive is submerged in special lubricant. The symmetrical shape of the drive allows it to be driven from both sides.

The winch heads are usually mounted on larger tractors, along with the safety framework. The single or double drum winch head can be mounted on forestry tractors, forwarders, different excavators and forestry firefighting machines. The winch heads are usually mounted on the rear side of the tractor, but can also be fixed to the front.

The main advantage of a constant pulling force is that the maximum pulling force does not vary as the drum diameter changes, thus the wire rope can be longer and lighter. A longer pulling wire rope increases the working area up to 20% and with weigh decreased for appx. 30%, it eases the forestry work even more. 

Winches with a constant pulling force are more compact and can be fixed to tractors with less power in comparison to the winches without a constant pulling force. This increases the energy efficiency, and reduces damage to the undergrowth and environmental impact of the forestry works. 

Smart 3in1 is a function available for all hydraulic winches. It enables: 

(1) When pulling logs with a tractor, you may encounter some obstacles on the road (hill, roots etc.). If the tractor is not able to overcome these obstacles, the unwinding function can be switched into the mode without the assistance of the unwinding device and you can continue driving with a taught wire rope between the winch and the load.

(2) The unwinding device can be turned on and off without delay (the standard model has a 1.5 sec. delay).

(3) The SMART 3in1 function ensures additional tension of the wire rope between the unwinding pulley and drum. 

This function is only available with the remote controls Teleradio, Terra funk and manual console. 

The unwinding device with a hydraulic motor can be mounted on a winch to ease the unwinding of the wire rope. A winch with an unwinding device also ensures tension of the wire rope between the unwinding pulley and the drum. This prevents damages to the unwinding device and enables a longer service life.

AUTO STOP (limit switch) automatically turns off the winding function on the winch. This function is a standard function, integrated into all Hpro models and prevents mechanical damage to the unwinding device, jamming or damage to the pulling rope.

Forestry winches STANDARD are a basic variant of the chain-driven winches with a pulling force spanning from 3 to 8 tones. They can be operated mechanically or electro-hydraulically. All models have a foldable widow guard and plenty of room on the front side of the butt plate for the forestry choker chains and other accessories. STANDARD series winches come with a single-plate LUK clutch and can be mounted to the tractor at two different attaching heights. Every winch function is managed separately. 

The Forestry winches PREMIUM are advanced and technologically perfected forestry winches for occasional or professional users. They can be operated mechanically or electro-hydraulically and come with a multi-plate LUK clutch and a patented lower pulley with a magnetic shutter. The pump of an electro-hydraulic PREMIUM winch is gear driven with the FAG ball bearings. The HAWE hydraulic block with the seat valve prevents the pressure loss, while the high-pressure filter and oil container are made of stainless steel. All components have anti-corrosion protection and protected inside of the winch frame. Large storage departments for forestry choker chains and other accessories can be found on the front side of the winch to keep the dirt from tractor wheels away from the chains and other accessories. 

Read the instructions carefully before using the forestry winch for the first time. Make sure to mount the winch to the tractor correctly and take the length of the PTO shaft into account. Before the first use, the chains and chain links do not need any lubrication. Never use oils or grease, but you can use the silicon lubricant spray (check the instruction manual for more info). 

Unwind the wire rope all the way to the mark (you will notice the coloured sign a few meters towards the end of the wire) and wind it again tightly (read the instructions and the mark at the wire rope ending).  

Remote controllers with different functions can be used with all electro-hydraulic winches. We offer German remote controls Tele Radio and Terra. All remote controls allow usage of the basic and special functions, such as SMART 3in1. You can choose between models with throttle control and Antikipp protection.  

A special remote controller, the Terra FA5-D1 UNI was developed together with the producer to support functions of our electro-hydraulic forestry winches. It can be used with most of Uniforest winch models to improve the ergonomics, safety, and efficiency of our forestry machines. 

Antikipp is a remotely-controlled function that prevents the tractor from tipping over; if the tractor leans to one side too much, the winding of the rope wire is turned off instantly. We can preset the maximum inclination of the tractor in both directions (forward/backward or left/right).

When purchasing the firewood processor, your main question should be how often will you use it. For everyday use, the machines with the circular saw (models TITAN 53/40 PREMIUM and TITAN 40/20 PREMIUM) are a better choice due to lower maintenance costs in comparison to the chainsaw bar. The circular saw cuts the logs faster and is more resistant to the irregularities in the wood.  

However, if you prefer a lighter machine for occasional use, the TITAN 34/20J STANDARD is most friendly for occasional users as it can be operated with a Joystick and cuts with the strong harvester bar. For a more affordable price option, there is also a TITAN 34/20 STANDARD without the joystick. 

The TITAN 53/40 Premium (TITAN 40/20 Premium) firewood processor cuts the logs with a 130cm (100cm) wide Widia circular saw. The circular saw is resistant to irregularities in the wood as its serrated part is made of carbide solids. 

The circular saw requires less maintenance: one sharpening of the saw blade is sufficient to produce more firewood in comparison to a chainsaw bar. Less wear is caused by the particles of sand or gravel in the logs. Apart from that, the circular saw doesn’t need to be lubricated with oil, but it is necessary for the chainsaw. When using a chain the oil can mix with the sawdust, making it no longer usable as a side product. Chain lubrication requires over 50 litres of oil per month when using the full machine capacity. The TITAN 53/40 Premium (TITAN 40/20 Premium) also saves you time and money by cutting with the circular saw. 

No, telescopic lifting table can only be integrated to the firewood processor during the assembly of the machine. After the machine is finished, it is no longer possible.

The firewood processors TITAN 40/20 Premium and TITAN 53/40 Premium are also available with wheels. Other TITANs are not available with wheels.

The conveyor belt is 5m long.

The new TITAN 53/40 premium has an integrated hydraulically adjustable 2/4/8/18-way splitting knife. All other firewood processors, like the TITAN 40/20 premium, the TITAN 43/20 and the TITAN 43/20J come with one splitting knife of your choice (2-4, 2-6 or 2-8). For the latter three, there is also a 12-way knife available as optional equipment.

The BoomSpeed function shortens the splitting cycle while not changing the maximum possible force. A special solution for the cylinder and additional valves allow faster oil flow and a higher speed of the empty or less loaded plate. A shorter splitting cycle also means better energy efficiency, increased productivity of the machine and its operator.

Using an iron cast pump for the log splitter means quieter operation and a longer service life.

As the name itself says, Autospeed stands for automatic speed regulation. The axe paces faster towards the log, but at the point of contact, it adopts the splitting speed according to the type and structure of the wood. After the log is split, the axe returns quickly back to the starting position.

All log splitter models are available with a single or double log table as optional equipment. The single log tables only offer one hight to place the log on, but the double log tables can be set to two different hights.

Uniforest log splitters have an integrated 3-phase shut-down mechanism to prevent log table or axe damage. The protection mechanism stops the axe before it hits the log table or the bottom of the log splitter.

TITANIUM and MAGNUM log splitters have all safety components in accordance to the European and other global safety standards.
