Will try this system. Thanks for showing the correct way. I got a heavy dolly to load up so instead if lifting the low end into vehicle I thought why not use the hinge as anchor and do a pully system. I was going to use another bully on Pinole with a Prusik knot for break. For $16 why not get a complete kit with a brake already. I like that brake because once the heavy end is up I can release brake and push into cargo area, giving slack as I go and let it roll in front wheels. Great deal. Price some rope, 2 dbls w/ attached brake that is a great deal
Great tutorial, was tired of breaking my back skinning coyotes so I picked one of these up this weekend. Your instructions make perfect sense and saves so much time over tying off to a branch, etc. Thanks so much from a NV hunter.
I'll buy one of these, today! I need it to hoist & store the bagging attachment for my ride-on lawn mower! It's going up high & out of the way, in my garage! Great "instructions correction" video! Thank you!
I watched two other videos on this subject and this one is BY FAR the best. The other two left a lot to be desired. This man described the process of setting up this Gambrel/hoist system in a very simple yet most informative way. Thank you!
This was very helpful. I bought a similar gambrel, and did not know how to set it up. The instruction were no good. They showed tying off to the lever rather than using for its designed purpose. Again, very helpful. TY!
I bought mine for 5 bucks used in a garage sale didnt came with instructions and I hung my first deer in it, thank you so much I think I got way better instructions than the package, Thanks!!
I have this exact pully hoist and gambrel and I was wondering how to lock it off. Thank you very much for explaining this! Very useful. I was wondering how I was going to hold my game up there high without tying it off or something. haha
Wish you had someone videoing so I could get a close up to see how it's run because i can't really tell wich end of the rope you're pulling through the 2 different pullies
Thanks for the comment! Sry only seen this just now... I might be able to film a "short" with a close up of the process... Remember to subscribe and click the bell, so you know when it's posted!
So, we installed a winch to do the lifting. We took the rope off the gambrel and then OH MY GOODNESS, how in the heck do you string it back on? Came here to watch and you know what? We raised a deer! Thanks!
I don't see why it wouldn't work... the rope has to be in the break system in order for it work... But if the height of the garage ceiling is too high to do it by hand, I don't see why a pole wouldn't work! Thanks for the comment/question! And thanks for watching!
Nice video. I can not figure out this 2:1 or 4:1 mechanical advantage stuff. lol. Does anyone know what the amount of force would be I would have to pull down on the rope in order to lift say a 100 point item? Would lifting a 100 lbs using this pulley system require the ability to pull 50 pounds? If it's 50 lbs, I may need to get a different pulley system as I can only lift comfortably around 20 lbs. I'm disabled, and not looking to left anything heavy. Thanks for any input.
@@Chase1399Aviation I apologize for the late response... the block and tackle used in my demonstration, would be considered a 4:1 .. ie. In the block and tackle itself are 4 ropes that are supporting the load and 1 lead rope.. so in simple terms, for every 1 lb of force applied to the lead rope would be 4 lbs applied to the load. So in your example of a 100lb load, you would need to apply 25lbs to the lead rope in order to lift your 100lb load. That is "in theory", but doesn't take Into consideration things like rope stretch or other very small variables. But in general, you should be able to lift your 100lb load with approximately 25lbs of force. In a 2:1 example you would need 50lbs to lift 100lbs. I hope they made sense enough to answer your question!
Now that I see this video, it's clear that the packaging and picture/instructions are meant to only show the scenario where the rope at your hand when pulling is going to be tied off to something. I'm sure this is the mftr Legal team CYAing
Harbor freight lists the weight to 440 lbs.. so it would depend on the weight of the pig, but I do know that there's been around 550-600 lbs actually being used on it. Thanks for the comment, and let me know if you try it how it works out!
In the normal configuration, you pull down to lift the load with a 4 to 1 mechanical advantage. This also means moving 4 times as much rope. I plan on using the hoist to pull some 4 by 8 foot sheets of lumber up to a second floor balcony. They are too awkward to carry up a ladder, but they may not be heavy enough to justify that 4 to 1 ratio. I might opt for more speed by untying the knot from the top block, pulling the end of the rope off of one of the bottom pulleys and tying it to the bottom block. This would give a 3 to 1 advantage. Buy using progressively fewer pulleys, I can reduce the amount of rope I need to use to move each board. Two of the boards are much thinner, and therefore much lighter. Note that I am not even lifting the boards straight up, I am using a makeshift ramp. So the slope of the ramp gives a bit more mechanical advantage, and means I have to use even more rope. I bought a long enough rop
They don't have gambrel and pulleys in Australia 😳🤯 I do know the freight is ridiculous! I have a friend that pays ridiculous amounts to buy string building materials from the U.S. to build bowstrings... Thanks for the comments and for watching the video!
If you had it "laced" or let's say "threaded" correctly, it SHOULD'VE lifted 150 fairly easily ... I have used my jeep to lift extra heavy weights.. let the lock engage, and then tie off to something else..
Love this video! Best explanation of how to use this tool and set it up. Dummy-proof!
Thank you so much for the comment and kind words!

@@bowhuntersworld4948 I just tried it by setting up and it worked like a lock, like you said! 😀 Going to make my life a lot easier.
Just started messing with mine, now I know mine is messed up it was driving me crazy last year. I’m going to have to rebuild it using this tutorial.
Thanks for the comment!
Let me know how it goes for you.. if you have any questions, let me know..
dude ! thats awesome, you dont know how many times we fought that thing ! haha great!
I wish I'd have know that a few years ago!
Great instructions!!!! Thank you!
Thank you for the comment Rodie! We're glad you found it informative!

I will be attaching the system to the ceiling of my garage. Can I use a pole to push the brake up and down to engage and disengage it?
I don't see why it wouldn't work...

@@bowhuntersworld4948 that’s awesome I plan to butcher my pigs right around 200lbs so that would work
@@alarry31 should work perfectly!
Is the hole in the bottom pulley useable?
I'm not sure what you would use it for, could you elaborate?
What are your thoughts?
Can that hole be able to connect with the top hole to assist to make the final knot?
@@AnsonDimension I don't think that would work, if I am understanding what you're asking..

@@craigfranklin1853 ahh gotcha
