    Rigging your truck unstuck

    I never thought about that, but come to think of it, I had around 6K pounds on this maple last week and could still pull the middle of my ~60ft span of rope about 3ft by hand, so a couple hundred pound log will pull it down even more for the same tension normally I pull a line till all the...

    Rigging your truck unstuck

    I paid $450 for my PCW5000 and it paid for itself the next day, they are $1500 new and more useful than a lewis winch IMO, little slower but have an unlimited pull length and easier to control how hard you pull that being said, if you would like, I can see if he still has it, im sure its gone...

    Rigging your truck unstuck

    instead of the block on the load, put the block on the winch hook, anchor the rope to something near the tree and out the other end up the tree double the speed, half the force a winch similar to this is ideal, pretty quick pull and a lot of power, but most of them are clutch driven and require...

    Rigging your truck unstuck

    cool to see you guys using that trick, ive only seen it a handfull of times yup, I want to build a high speed yarding winch for this exact reason, currently if I need a faster pull I rig up a reverse 2/3:1, or pull with a truck, ive found some 3/4" line and pulleys will make the world reverse...
