Mounted a winch to the mill and have tried it in Cedar and some old second growth spruce today. All were good size, at least over 36 inches. Spruce was just over 4'. Set up is a 56 inch blade, Oregon ripping chain and 3120. When I put tension on the 1/8" wire, it pulls up the backside of the mill. I have scoured Youtube videos and the Internet seeing if anyone else has had this issue and cannot find anything. Seems like everyone is mounting the winch and it is all good.
Just wondering if anyone has run into this and if so, how did you fix it? Any ideas on what could be causing this? I have a 16' ladder I use for the runners. I feel as though my sharpening is on point. Bars are good and true. Was thinking of trying to figure out a bearing setup so it would hold the mill to the ladder at least on the backside.
Thanks Jimmy
