Petrol capstan winches

[Woody wood cutter]

Has anyone got any experience in using or have one of these petrol powered capstan winches PCW5000.

They look ideal for what I want but would like some feedback from a user or owner.

Thanks in advance.

We own one. What do you want to know..?

Hi there,

Yep had the pcw5000 for a couple of years now, so quite well versed in them.

Good piece of kit, certainly worth having. Often find ourselves using it to do all sorts from pulling out small trees to moving plant in/out of site.

Certainly well put together and does what it claims to.

 

If I had to pick a negative it would be that whilst it is possible to lock it off mid pull, it does not have the same click by click secure nature of the traditional style winch we might be used to (tirfor etc.). When pulling over trees it is all or nothing for example....

 

Hope this is of some help to you.
