Capstan winch rental

[NoBrakes!]

I'm looking to rent an engine powered capstan style rope winch with 3000lb pull.

I have some fallers doing some work at our cabin and all supplies have to be boated in.

the princess auto unit is a little under powered at 2000lb but I'm looking for a similar design.

Look for the one that hooks up to your chainsaw installed one years ago can’t remember the name but it worked great

not enough pull, that unit you're thinking of is the same winch as above just with a different driver.

I know they can use snatch blocks and other rigging. I just want to try and get them exactly what they want to use.

The Lewis winch is 8000 lb i would think that would be enough

The Lewis looks to be exactly what a guy needs, sorry to doubt you earlier. Now finding a rental outfit for them is a different story... Any more tips?

Hey was wondering when you use one of these do you have to be square ( for lack of a better word ) to what your pulling or can it be off a bit. I know nothing about these rope winches.

Plugs into a regular 15 amp 120 volt outlet. Not a huge draw. I’d think the little honda 2000 or equivalent would do it.

The one I posted has chain vice straps that are used to clap it around a I-beam or the floor mount etc... You would just strap it around the base of another tree or another anchor in the direction you wanna pull. Long rope and cord and pull from the opposite side. The more wraps you have around the drum the more jam.

you do not need supper strong to fall a tree especially if you have experienced fallers your just guiding with the winch. I cleared my whole back yard by myself and the 2500 on my atv... Everything landed where i wanted it and in not experienced but had a faller show me the tricks over the summer while they were falling trees elseware

Well I'll tell you..... I hired professionals to drop 4 trees. Each are over 100' tall, and are hanging over the 4 corners of the log cabin that my grandpa built... I'm not taking chances. That's what the fallers asked for, I'll get what they want to use.

3 Black aspens that I cant wrap my arms around.... and one birch that will make good firewood!!
