- Here you see us setting up the winch, setting up rigging with a redirect, and winching out hung up and storm damaged trees with a PCW3000 Portable Petrol / Gasoline Capstan Winch. For the first time we use the fixed tree mount for the winch, and set up a redirect pulley. The PCW3000 Portable winch has the petrol Honda GX35 Engine. For a small winch, it performs well on some very long trees.

When tying on to the drag, the strop should be as close to the butt as possible, to save digging-in or snagging, as happened almost immediately.
What a cracking tool that is 👍
Game changer!
@@JamesTheForester a keep looking at them they never come up for sale second hand.
I would imagine 2nd hand will have been worked hard. They rev very high to generate the torque so even though this particular model has a Honda engine which is very reliable and long lasting I would still buy brand new.
@@JamesTheForester 👍🏻
you look ready to go to war with all the gear on!!😂
I do! lol.
Very cool tool!! Great video thanks for sharing.
You're welcome! Thanks for the comment 👍
@@JamesTheForester I am interested in purchasing this to make a pile driver. Does this only pull in rope that’s horizontal to the winch or can it also manage a vertical rope? I will only be pulling up a 350 lb steel bar and then dropping it on the post at free fall speed. I initially build this mechanism using hydraulics but I am having trouble dropping the weight really fast and my research indicates that this might be the answer to my free fall problem. Can you please share your thoughts? Thanks!!!
@@Failedmusician the rope always needs to come out more or less horizontally but you could rig up some 90 degree redirect pulleys to direct it where you need it. I suppose the issue would be rigging up a rope progress capture system which could take over holding the load strain from the winch and also quick release.
@@JamesTheForester say more about the rope progress system because if having the ability to lift and hold would be great.
nice hobby
Thanks 👍
Completely right
Cheers !
Good video
Thanks !
Can you do a video or list all of the hand tools you carry on your belt?
Brian that's a great idea. I'll make it my next video. Watch this space!
Actually I got a question I have some 80 ft locust trees that are roughly 18 to 22 in across at the good size of it What size portable gas winch should I use what size
The small one you see in the video should do it. All you need to do is just keep adding pulleys to double up the Pull strength while you half the pull speed. You'd be surprised at some of the monster trees we have pulled with that winch. many thanks for the comment. Good luck!
Smart winch indeed! Have you had any issues with the winch/motor at all?
No. None at all. It is a Honda motor so ultra-reliable. It is a 4-stroke as well so you don't need to worry about mixing up 2-stroke fuel. Just use good quality engine oil and change it regularly.
@@JamesTheForester thanks for your honest opinion and very speedy reply! I literally Just bit the bullet and ordered one from the US, considerably cheaper than buying it within the uk! Should make things a lot easier for us with smaller tree jobs, thanks!!
@@Richard-tz2qf make sure you buy the correct type of rope to use with it! If it's the wrong type you can melt it. My other video about the winch details the type you need.
@@JamesTheForester awesome thanks, I’ve subbed to your channel I’ll take a look 👍🏼
Where do you buy that little plate the winch sits in that’s strapped to the tree?
James what state are you from?
UK matey. Scotland, also work northern England.
Any help. My lines is snagging on the drum
Do you mean coiling over on itself? Make sure the drum is angled slightly away from the working end of the line. Use a redirect if you need to make sure the angle is exactly right even on a straight ahead pull. Good luck.
Thanks for that. Cheers
Now I know what winch NOT to buy. I think I'll stick to my 12v winch 12,000 lb
We do have 12v winches as well but might find it difficult to carry a 12 volt battery to where we do our tree work. 😊

There is a difference between work and UA-cam video making. We work slowly for the video so people can see what we are doing. This is an instructional video not a video of how fast we work.
Не подскажите стоимость лебетки. Спасибо.
£1200 approximately?
