[QUOTE="arborjames, post: 4266534, member: 112069"] you guys should look into the Portable Gas Powered Winch (Honda powered) from West Coast Winch. i have used one before removing dead fall and it works like a dream. The neat thing about this particular winch is the capstan drum. the rope or wire runs through the drum rather than lapping on top of its self meaning that there is no limit to the length of the pull (only how long your rope is) and the pull power is always constant so it will run forever. with the other conventional winches, as the line laps on top of its self, the capacity for pulling, or in other words, the weight in which it can pull gets lower and lower as the line continues to lap. Its a pretty cool little machine. [/QUOTE]
