I like a rope puller better than the regular come along types that spool up aircraft cable when pulling/putting tension on trees. You get unlimited length, rope doesn’t rust, and most importantly, it doesn’t spool up the rope. The rope just hangs down underneath the come along onto the ground. It’s a little more cluttered during use and harder to pack away for storage with the rope “installed”, but you can store the come along with no rope/cable anywhere near it preventing tangles or worse, wet cable getting spooled up tightly, sealing the melted snow moisture all along the inside of the spool causing rust eventually. So you can have the actual come along always stored by itself, checking on it/putting some kind of rust inhibitor spray on it every so often whereas you can’t re apply rust proofing to the middle or underneath the spooled cable without running it all the way out first.
I've heard good things about the Capstan winches with the ropes. My only question for people who run them was if they ever felt that they needed more pulling power as from what I understand most top out around 1500lbs of pulling force.
This come along is from Princess Auto if my memory serves me right. In the US the equivalent store would be Harbor Freight. I believe this chain is from my local Tractor Supply store
Hi there Sandy, what size chain do you use? I use a choker but like your long chain better!👍🏻 thanks for the video brother!✌🏻️ this comment went to the wrong video. Happy holidays 🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻✌🏻️
Happy holidays Alan. Those chains are 20’ chain used for securing heavy equipment in trailers. I believe it is 7/16” but I can quite remember . Definetly heavy when I’m hauling them around by hand
The cold weather makes work so much fun I’m glad it work out for you. What with the duke tape on your saw for? If you don’t mind talking about it good job 👍
The duct tape is just covering the name of the dealership I got the saw from. The dealership isn’t in business anymore so figured I wouldn’t confuse anyone if they happened to see it
Okay not trying to be rude at all and I have some logging experience. Why did you have to use a come a long in the middle of no where? Was this just an educational video? It was very good once you got your gear going.
Glad to know I'm the only one who struggles with comealongs
Learned something new. Fall/winter blend bar oil didn’t know there were such a thing.
Keep the fire 🔥 going and stay warm
Thanks Chris.
Great job Sandy. Looking good. Merry Christmas!

Can you point me in the direction where I can buy chain like that, and come along? Or just beat way to look for it. I enjoyed the video sir.

Tree was leaning on another tree and I wanted to keep it full length so I could mill it on my sawmill
Hey Sandy, take some of that RUclips money, get you some gloves. For me, bad gloves can ruin the fun of work.
Yeah you’re right about that
NOT A COME A LONG…! 1500# winch on a 4 wheeler…
I find ATV winches are great but ATV itself isn’t heavy enough for a hood anchor
