First off I'm not affiliated with this company or getting anything from them for doing this. I just thought others would benefit and maybe save someone from getting hurt or damaging something by knowing about them.
About a month ago I helped an old fiend take down some trees around his house and decided to cable a lot of them down to be safe. House and power lines came into play. we had out old bulky puller and normal come alongs and he brought one of these out. After using it I was really impressed and figured they didn't make them anymore. Someone on a forum said they were still being made and I found them. Made right here in Ohio up in the Northern part of the state. It is a the Wyeth-Scott Co. and it's called the more power puller. There is a Chinese knock off around so watch what you are looking at. I ended up ordering direct from the company and here is a link. I got the 3 ton version

They are pricey but I have never minded to pay for what I consider a lifetime tool. The damge from using something under rated looks small afterward.
I ended up getting 2 of them as you never know when a company like this will go out of business when enough people think the "harbor freight" version is good enough. That is how much I was impressed with it. I got one handle extension(I'd recommend) and a extra slip pulley. I thought they weren't included and I wanted one. Now I have 3 as they came with the puller, my mistake. Here are some pics.
I put the saw next to it to give you some scale. It's a lot beefier than the normal puller.
3 ton version has 20 ft of cable and you can also get poly cable if you want. The housing is drilled where the shaft comes through so you can grease it with a grease gun with a needle greaser. Nice touch for easy maintenance.
safety hooks are optional but I got them as they are handy sometimes and save some step to prevent hooks and chains from coming off when slacked.
The slip hook pulley is a one piece cast item. VERY strong piece as well. I ordered the extra without safety clasp. Guess I have both know!
Here is the old one in action. we used this on a lot of trees and that cable was pulled like a guitar string. Amazing how big of a hinge a tree would have and it would pull it right over.
This pic gives you an idea as it has pulled this tree to this point and it still is not over centered to fall. I did cut a wedge hinge her to let it roll off to onside as he had a narrow slot with a tree on one side he didn't want damaged.
Every tree went right where he wanted so mission accomplished.
When I ordered them They shipped them out and I had it 3 days later. They are just a super nice tool to have and with a few chains and some cable you can safely take down some trees that are not worth the risk of "hoping" it will go as planned.
If the moderators want to remove or move this that is fine but I thought others might benefit knowing about these.
