cleats on the sides, if you put them up top then they will be hard to get to once loaded I think I would probably add some thin sheet steel in a 3-4" circle where the bolts mount the cleats to spread the load, otherwise im thinking the cleats may tear through or crack the plastic

ive been eyeballing these, i have zero use for something like it but maybe one of you sees some use? combine this (or a jetsled) with the PCW5000 or lewis winch, and you could nearly keep up with a mini skid even the light duty ones rated at 1500 pounds, if you had a few guys you could set it up...

the smaller portable winch's have a lever on the rope guide pulley, engine idles till you pull on the rope tail, then throttles up ive never experienced rope burning with mine, although the rope and drum do get hot if you dont tail the rope hard enough and let it slip under heavy load

air filter was missing when I bought the winch, I never run it in dusty conditions so ordering one was put on the back burner for now, I use the winch every 3 or 4 months so im not too worried, its just one of those things that I usually forget to order when I have time to do it this engine...

ok yeah I get ya, I can totally see dragging a truck easily if you are winching in such a way that lifts the back of the truck a few inches, totally slipped my mind that the back of a pickup isnt nearly half as heavy as the front I don't think I have ever actually slid a truck with a winch...

pictures for demo purposes only, showing off some of the different anchor options for anyone that may be imagining the winch working while anchored to a tree, ive anchored to trees, trucks, trailers, logs, its an amazing tool once you unlock the ability to look at something and think "yep thats...

spare batteries go bad in a year or two of any serious use, fuel burns and any gas station has some I personally wouldnt get the electric one due to duty cycle issues, but if you dont run it heavy it should be just fine you running a 2:1 or something? the winch only pulls 2200 pounds so I cant...

the PCW5000 is a solid product, it does weigh about the same as a 5 gallon can of gas so not terribly light to pack into the woods, and it being a 4 stroke it cannot run on its side (which it LOVES to do, its tough to keep it upright) the little honda engine is excellent, reliable and uses...

a lot could go wrong, thats why its such a fun idea lol

my dad had the idea to take a truck and the excavator down to our back field when it snows, hook a chain between the trucks hitch and the excavator bucket, put the truck in 4 low first gear and let it idle spinning all 4, then spin the truck in the worlds slowest donut with the excavator

oh sorry, didn't realize you meant mini skid

I don't even have the blade down, I could lift this off the side no sweat!

what ive used for the smaller stuff in the past was the tail of a 3" ratchet strap tied into a loop with a water knot, basically a 4-5ft loop runner choke bundles of limbs, throw loop over your shoulder and carry it its slow but its way faster than one or two limbs at a time by hand never tried...
