It's hard to tell from the photo, is that a capstan winch? It looks like a large capstan on there.

A great brush bag is a tarp that pulls up into a bag, has five or six inch wide very strong heavily stitched bands running crisscross from the corners on the underside and extending well past those corners by three or four feet ending with a loop. Pile the brush onto the flat sheet and pull...

Stephen, good job supplementing your equipment there. Those winches are kind of from a different era when things moved at a slower pace, but they do get it done.

That's been my impression as well. A faster pull would be useful, but all in all the smaller drum and stronger pull is more practical.

Good purchase!

That is cool for the little device.

Yeah, good post RiverSap. I think that three strand is recommended to be used with that winch. Would that help to prevent the rope jamming problem mentioned?

The winch was too slow to manage the drift from a large limb off to the side, which diverted from the intended lay and the tree crashed another dead one that went wild into a house. One of those things that you can't believe is happening while you watch it happening. Before that, we found a...

I believe with that winch there is a cautionary about having your winch line go up at an angle above the winch. I wondered if it stresses the capstan shaft, or what the concern is. Remember to change the oil. I've pulled back leaning trees with a gasoline engine winch, not that one, but...

On harder ground if you attach to the log a lot towards the front, I don't think the cone is much needed. We were pulling up a hill in fairly soft ground without a cone, and the edge of the log would sometimes dig in. No cone, bring a spade. I recall that someone that had used that winch a...

I've used one that I purchased for a friend here to pull logs up an incline. Somewhere it was already discussed at the forum. i thought that Willie was familiar with it too, but maybe he was just talking about using a nose cone. Good product. I don't think that the bigger drum would be very...
