A B S T R A C T A hand maneuverable, portable, power-driven winch for use in skidding trees which includes a base plate for resting flatwise on the ground and turned upwardly at the leading end thereof to facilitate passing over obstacles normally encountered in moving the apparatus forwardly through a tree-growing area. There is a wheel projecting downwardly from the leading turned-up end of the base plate for rolling on the ground when the trailing end of the plate is lifted off the ground. A pair of vertical plates are secured to said base plate and project upwardly therefrom, such plates being spaced apart from one another laterally of the base plate and providing effectively a channel therebetween extending lengthwise of the apparatus. A winch and power means for driving the same are located in such channel with the winch drum being mounted on a shaft journalled in the vertical plates adjacent the trailing end thereof. A fair lead is located adjacent the leading end of the base plate, and at the trailing end of the apparatus a connector is provided for use in anchoring the apparatus to a standing tree or the like and arranged so as to transfer skidding loads from the winch shaft directly to such connector.
