Anyone know where I can get a hydraulic controller for my gearmatic winch? gregjo1948

Skidder parts

You may want to check with a forestry equipment wrecker. Gearmatic winches were used on Deere, Clark and Timber Jack skidders.

These are however an aluminum assembly and not the factory Deere cast unit.

Thanks Jason. I don't really care what it's made of or who made it. I'd use anything that works correctly. I'm considering fabricating one. gregjo1948

Hi Don't know if you have an exchange but www.forestryconstruction.com list a rebuilt Gearmatic control on their website. under Inventory/Miscellaneous. Item SKU002 Gearmatic Master Control Rebuilt Exchange. Hope this is of some help.

Thanks Reg Taylor--I checked it out. $650 exchanged is too much for me and I don't have a complete exchange. I think I'm going to build one using 2 auto brake master cylinders and it'll only cost around $100.00. It will also give me something to do and keep me out of trouble. :) gregjo1948
