    Hi I have a winch and its still in the box used it once and like Saul says I rather have the feel of the mill going through the log as its not always full revs sometimes you need to go easy to get round a lump in the log or you hit a hard bit one thing try and get a way to easily raise the log so as you come past say the middle point you are not on your knees killing your back I got an old doctors bench with a hydrolic jack in it its a bit of a faf to get the log onto it but saved my back its up for free if anyone wants it as now I have the hm130 I dont do much alaskan milling saying that I have a big willow to do ,its going for cello backs . Cheers Mark
