O.C.G.D. Thread, part two

I like that winch a lot.

 

[PCTREE]

Seems very reasonable at that price. Definitely a good looking unit, wonder how much the brake is rated for.

the reason I don’t like people pulling things with the Wraptor is you set a bad precedent IMO. You will have idiots trying to pull stuck chip trucks out with the driver rocking her to get out. Shock loads way in excess of swl can be exceeded and the unit damaged. Kinda like using your harness as a tow strap, just bad juju

I love my portable winch, and it's done tons of work, but like the look of that one even more. It's so great to have that kind of power in a little package, awesome for storm cleanup and tricky situations

 

[Burnham]

I've been singing praises for winches as an indispensable tool for tree work since forever...and I am today still amazed at how few tree work outfits seem to use them.

I could not have managed even a small portion of the jobs I was able to take to successful completion, without a winch at hand.

Frick and frack, what a bunch of dumb bunnies....

Just teasing, friends ...I know y'all are not dumb...just plain bunnies, I suppose .

My portable winch owes me nothing. It just keeps paying for itself.

Got a clean low hours 201TC from a guy over on the Buzz. Came with a new 14” bar as well as the original.

 

[ruel]

Do you do treework just to support your tree gear habit?

 

[lxskllr]

He doesn't even like trees. That's why he bought the saw.

 

[flushcut]

Tree work it's a hell of a drug! LOL

 

[Jonny]

It’s a vicious cycle for sure, but at the price he wanted I couldn’t afford not to buy it

 

[ruel]

Ring upgrade to replace the one I smasherated.

 

[pantheraba]

I bet you will be nicer to that one.

 

[Tree09]

Nah

 

[treebilly]

Why can’t I just stop at the arb store and pick up what I’m supposed to? I was staring at it and thought to myself “ you’ve already got 4 or 5 of these, you don’t need another one”. Then that little gear demon appeared on my other shoulder and said “ you don’t have a pink one, yet”. Also bought another cube, hank of dynaglide, and two more rope bags. I’m gonna have to quit drinking to support this habit

 

[flushcut]

Are you sure you weren't before you went into the store?

 

[cory]

rich, I take it you are more of friction hitch guy than mechanical hitch guy?

 

[treebilly]

Cory I do a lot with both. Depends on the situation. More though lately, my mood. I’ve walked passed and glanced at it at least two dozen times. Today I let the demon win
And @flushcut , only had one beer. Weekend ritual. One beer with breakfast. Been that way for 20 years. Except when I call it quits for a while

 

[flushcut]

Nah he just like gear.

 

[treebilly]

Phone is about to die and I need to move fire wood up to the house. Lotta work

 

[cory]

Is it literally uphill from firewood pile to the house?

 

[flushcut]

Both ways? LOL

 

[treebilly]

Actually it is up hill from the pile to the house. Lil Bessie doesn’t care though. Just grabbed a bucket load since it’s snowing again and I don’t really feel like being out in it again. I’ll grab another tote full tomorrow and maybe restock my little wood shed that sits next to the garage.

 

[ruel]

Euro style. I've never owned red pants before.

 

[cory]

stylin!

 

[Bermy]

Saxy!
