Man that looks good! When I first bought my property it was covered in tall thick sage brush so I hooked up the brush hog to my rear PTO and 3 point hitch and went to work. All went good the first day no problems I was chewing and spitting sage brush with a vengeance. Second day not so good. Like I said the sage was tall and thick. The winch was in neutral so the rear rear PTO could run. I had my chain on the front hooked the usual way that I have seen in many pictures. Well the dam sage brush got a hold of the chain and pulled it loose and the clutch brake didn't hold it. I think ya all know where this is going, Yep the brush drug it underneath the truck and right into the brush hog. Loud nasty bang sound, I jammed the clutch in and thug the engine stopped.
I thought I hit something that was hidden in the brush even though I would walk the area first. Well there it was the winch cable rapped up in the brush hog. I laid out about 50ft of cable before it garbed it. First thoughts and words were unpleasant to say the least. I ended up spending about an hour cleaning up the mess. Did damage control inspection and was pleased that there was no damage other that to the cable. So I like the way yours it set up cause when that cable comes off when you don't want it to, look out.
