- Whether you're logging and need to haul trees out of the bush, hunting and need to pull that moose out of a bad spot or stuck with your truck and no one around to help you, a portable, gas-powered chainsaw like this is a might good idea to have.
A fine, Canadian-made product (except for the Honda engine), it can do a straight pull of up to 1,500 lbs (or double that with the use of two-rope, pulley setup). There's a lot you can do with a little rig like this.
The nice thing about this winch's design is that you are not limited in the length of rope you can run through it because it doesn't build up on the spool (it just runs through). So, if you had enough rope, you could pull something out a kilometer away.
I purchased this one at Timberland Supply in Edmonton. The cost was $1,184.00 (Cdn).

Brilliant tool. My plan is to get one to pull firewood out of the muskeg. The 4 wheeler can't get in there without getting stuck and rutting everything up. With this tool, I can winch the logs out from the road.
Yeah, that's one of the things I most like about it too; its long reach capability. The same need can arise when retrieving moose around here.
I just bought one to take on a remote moose hunt in Maine, but my question is what size rope did you buy?
How is the PCW3000 holding up for you? I'm thinking about buying one for self recovery while snowmobiling. I do a a lot of riding deep in the bush off the groomed trails, a winch would really come in handy on occasion.
That's partly what I plan to use mine for as well. I've put my PCW3000 through some pretty hard work and it's holding up very well. The motor is made by Honda, so I like that.
@@TheWaytoNativeChronicles Great, thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.
@@nbrider7235 To see an example of the kind of work I put mine through, you can see it in this video where we were moving a trapping cabin: czcams.com/video/XssMUiACfas/video.html
Why not wrap the green sling around the tree another time to eat up the slack and prevent slippage?
Thanks the for suggestion, but that would be a bad idea. You should want the strap to slip around the tree so that the winch positions itself straight in line with the pull and an even amount of tension is put on each strap loop.
@@TheWaytoNativeChronicles It was more of a question anyway. Fair point, I'm not used to using round slings for redirects and blocks with our chipper winch. Usually it's a deadeye sling that we'll cow hitch or timber hitch to the redirect tree where you load the same point either way
Would be handy when a guy is out hunting
Yep, for sure! Like being able to hook a rope onto a moose fallen in a bad spot and pull him out, or when you get your vehicle stuck. The nice thing about this winch's design is that you are not limited in the length of rope you can run through it because it doesn't build up on the spool (it just runs through). So, if you had enough rope, you could pull something out a kilometer away.
Is that as fast as it pulls ?
Yep, that's about as fast as it goes Rickie.
Dude, give it something to glide on. Just something other than rough grass and digging itself into the dirt. Poor winch
Think that's bad? Check out what we moved here: czcams.com/video/5d1yeyvHRU8/video.html
Clearly children safety is not a priority. I have seen videos of snapped rope under pressure decapitate people. As a trained Navy Corpsman/Paramedic this video makes me cringe.
Was thinking the same thing. With half a ton or so of load on that rope, this is Russian roulette for everyone within 30 feet
