Portable Winch

[RobArb]

Used one, loved it, made extracting large pieces of timber easier and more time efficient (rather than cutting it into rings)

I've been looking at this one and chainsaw winches and I'm still torn between the two.

 

Fairly sure either will do most of what I want it to but can't just quite choose between them yet.

I like that as it saves plumbing in a new winch on the Landy when you change models and you rarely are facing the right way when you need it anyway. Got me thinking now.

The thing about these devices is they never pull what I want them to pull ;-) therefor I use the smart rigging winch for pull over trees and lifting branches and logs and all the rest I just have to deal with my landcruiser and a bunch of blocks ;-)

Hi Justin

That's a good product and I've been thinking more and more recently about getting one.

I also think the price point is excellent.

Not saying I'll buy one now but I just need an excuse of a job to come along.

Stevens winch is not a powered winch is it!

[Wouter]

it is as you use it with a echo gas powered drill in it, at least thats what I got for quick winch action, Steven has got a battery high torque drill from metabo.

So you have multiple options to make it versatile

 

But your right, it isn't a real powered winch, sorry for the derail....

Also, it's the most expensive set up mentioned.

I'm not disrespecting the Smart Winch, I'd love one but its not very well priced in the UK.

that it is

Thanks for all the comments, I think I will go with these then. Any more feedback welcome.
