Portable Winches?

[Grendel]

Right? I like the little rope clamp lock off gizmo.

Reg, today we tried to drag some stuff up hill but just too many grabby things to deal with. I set a gin pole up, went smooth with the high block. Lift and drift up

Stephen, Next time, reverse speed line it--it's lots easier

I skimmed the thread but didn't see any link to a vendor. I found the winch for $1400 but could not find the tree mount. Where did you guys buy yours?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

I got mine at WesSpur

 

[Levi]

Awesome, thanks Stephen, I didn't even think to look with tree gear vendors

[Levi]

Thanks

 

[Grendel]

I got mine out of Northern Tool. Everything drop ships from the Manufacturer.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Did TreeStuff not have it?

I sure hope youse guys check our sponsor first...

I only allow one. I don't want ad links all over the 'House.

 

[Levi]

I didn't see it on there, I'm not too good at searching their site though.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Just PM Nick anytime.

 

[Grendel]

Treestuff doesn't have the PCW winch stuff. It really doesn't matter who you order from, it all ships from the manufacturer. I want to say they're in Quebec? Engines are made in Thailand, it's a global product. ha

The German version of the GRCS looks kind of cool

I don't much like the fact that Greg Good came up with a tool that really changed the ball game, and now others are simply copying it.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Isn't that the way of the world?

 

[Levi]

Yeah.

I'm not sure if it's the same one, but I saw a cool grcs type device with the fixed bollard permanently mounted outside of the capstan. Just an improvement is all.

Yep.
Doesn't mean I have to like it, does it.
Credit where it is due.

 

[flushcut]

Yeah.

I think you are talking about the Smart Winch.

 

[RegC]

I managed to mount the winch on the chipper this week. Saved a lot of pain otherwise.

 

[cory]

Schweetttt!

 

[chris_girard]

Good thinking Reg!

 

[Altissimus]

That's gotta help
