My new Portawinch P5000

[leafcut]

Hi all, I havnt any pictures or video which I wish I had-just a quicky update on my new toy. I used an old lowering rope with a 14ft chain and was working on a steep embankment pulling up 1/4 ton logs over a 50 yard distance. The anchor point was the front frame end of the Ifor Williams coupled to the quad. The winch just gently pulled the green sycamore effortesly up the hill where I bucked the logs and loaded them into the trailer I hauled up 2 x tons on the first job. I thought things were a little slow though. Had a job last week pulling out 8 x live Leylandi 5ft high the widest stump being 12" wide at ground level. This time the Timberwolf was the anchor point using a nylon towing strap connected to the rear hooks on the winch. The first couple went over slowly but the chipper started to move sideways as it was on gravel-this is the funny bit, my pal said" whats this do" and pulled up the grey rev lever-hey presto the root balls were just rived out of the ground. Some of the more stubborn roots were sorted with the mattock. Point is, I am so impressed with the portawinch, its so well built and has infinite uses/applications. I also used the tow bar attchment which is a god send when there isnt any other anchor point. I havnt used a re-direct with it yet. i cant wait to use it agin on "high revs"...thanks...Nick Pearson, Timberline-Roe Ltd.
