Pardon my ignorance, but I didn't know there was such a thing as a portable capstan winch. They're kinda pricey, but I'd sure like to have one. I get the permit from the national forest service to take dead and downed trees. But you know they're always 50 or 60 yards from the road. So after I cut and buck one, I have to manually lift each piece and carry it back to my truck over very uneven terrain. With this puppy, I could pull the whole tree to the road for processing. Bailey's even sells this thing. Sure, I could buy a lot of cords of hardwood logs and have them delivered for what this thing costs. Or I could buy one heck of a lot of firewood, already split, delivered and stacked. But then I wouldn't have the fun and pleasure of making my own firewood and being out in the woods. At 65, I'm not quite ready to pack it in yet. I heat entirely with wood. Burn 5 full cords (15 face cords) a winter. I have 20 full cords (60 face cords) split and stacked right now. I don't sell firewood. I just keep making it. Me and my trusty little Stihl 170 chain saw, and my trusty little Ryobi electric log splitter have spent many a fine day together. Just one of life's simple pleasures. (Now if I could just figure a way to make some money with this thing to justify its cost.)
