Tajfun of Slovenia is the world's largest manufacturer of single- and double-drum logging winches. Their winches and firewood processors are distributed in over forty countries around the world. Tajfun manufactures to the highest standards, employing state-of-the-art laser-cutting, robotic welding, and powder-coat paint technologies in the production of their firewood processors and logging winches. OESCO Inc. is proud to be the sole United States importer and distributor for Tajfun's products.
Tajfun's EGV-series single drum winches can be operated with compact- to full-sized tractors. The EGV 35A can be operated with as little as 30 HP. The EGV 35A has mechanical controls (rope pull to freewheel the drum or set the brake) and a pulling force of 35kN (3.9 tons-force).
Larger units can be had with either mechanical or electro-hydraulic controls (controllable via a pendant attached to the winch). Optionally, those with hydraulic controls can be fitted with radio remote control. The largest of Tajfun's single-drum winches -- the EGV 105 AHK -- has a pulling force of 100kN (11+ tons-force) and requires a 100+ HP tractor (hydraulic controls standard on the 105).
Tajfun double-drum winches (DGV 2x55 AHK) are available by special order.
Standard equipment includes 200' of swaged cable, three sliders, parallel hook, high and low pulleys, chain saw holder, fold down brush screen and PV or Pickaroon holder, and toolboxes (on EGV45 and up).
AHK models have a self-contained electric-over-hydraulic system which actuates the clutch and brake. These winches also require a 12V power supply from the tractor (the cable drum is still powered by the tractor PTO). Instead of ropes the AHKs are equipped with a control pendant that can easily reach the driver's seat or either side of the tractor. Also available on AHK models: radio remote control and/or power off-spooling. Both options are great when working alone.
