    Treatment of softwood stumps with urea is to protect against Fomes Decay (Heterobasidion annosum), If we never treated our stumps we used to get a right ear bashing from the gaffer and he would get a financial penalty.

    Hmm, the gravity thing does make a nonsense about what I said for this site. He does say the purchase of the winch is for timber on very steep banks and that it is for large hardwoods, so the bigger the better. I had it in my head that he was going to be doing a lot of timber extraction and that the winch would be the primary method of extraction and that it would be used on all sites which wouldn't all be bank sides.

    I agree with Tom D, A 5-6 ton will pull a lot of wood for you, if you were using a bigger winch every day you would soon get sick of pulling the heavy cable. For the odd big stick you need to get out find a friendly local with a Boughton 10 ton bolted to the back of something. Back in the day it would have been a Cooks double speed with ground spades bolted on the back of a ford major that you would have been looking for.
