Theres guys on here that know better then I but I have never heard of a 660 Timberjack. Iam sure your get a reply from someone about it ;)
They make-em 8.31 Cummings, 207 hp, big horse
Wait for Kiko to weigh in I think he is the most knowledgeable on the newer skidder gear,or pm him.
a guy who contracts with meadwestvaco has one around here. it is the only skidder he runs. he does plantation thinnings.
I know they make them!!!!!! I ran one back in 02 for a couple months..

He must have put some skinny tires on it, to get though a thinning job.
Some have a 270 hp JD motor, thats a big horse to feed.
so winch is new take off so i have no idea witch way it turns.. would be a huge help if someone knows
Sorry for wondering off the subject at hand.
The 660's i've been looking at have a duel drum winch.
Do you know the name and model ? I found its T60 Force, 27 ton, if thats the one, now try to find which way it turns.

was it the one in uncle henrys? isnt that a john deere winich? call nortrax
Thats a good buy [NEW]
The 660 Jack came with a Cummins engine. When Deere came into the picture it was labeled a 660d and had the 8.1 engine. It was produced as a 848g Deere as well. As far as the winch goes ,it will not work in this application because winch clutch pack is located in the transmission. The winch prop shaft only turns when the winch is engaged. T 40 or t60 were the winch options. Poor farm,you need a Deere 4000. Me and my guys have stretched out this summer,15 to 18 hours a days and often seven days a week, I will make it a point to follow up with you.
On the JD 4000 looking at the winch input yolk rotation is clockwise.
The winch your looking at poorfarm turns clockwise
Just to make sure what i was spouting about the t40d vs. 4000 winch was accurate; I looked it up this morning on jdparts.com. The t40d does not have an input clutch and is direct drive meant for intermitant input. The 4000 winch has a clutch pack on the input shaft of winch, so with a prop shaft turning constantly the complete drive in the winch is not turning untill the clutch is locked in. Looked up the t40d under a 660d and the 4000 under a 648gIII.
