A couple of those small logs underneath as rollers would make things a whole lot easier.

Scheib I'm sure you're lovin the PCW4000. You're right the cone would have made skidding a lot easier. Chris and I put about 12 hours on new Portable Winch the first week I got it and boy what a backsaver it is. Stay Safe! 👍TCT

Right on!

That little winch is a giant time saver

Good to see all that wood being salvaged

Working well, can’t beat mechanical Advantage, Take Care Guys🪵🇺🇸

Dang, Don, that thing is your savior!!! Ya know, save yer arms, save yer back , save yer ASS!!!! Slicker than snot on a door knob!!!!

I’ve winched tons of trees and the nose cone helps. I found that a few scrap PVC pipes help to throw under the log to reduce friction and steer them better. Speeds things up a ton and saves the winch from bogging down.

Nice, definitely better than carrying each round!

Daggummit Don!!!! That thing might just save my back and legs!!!! Everytime you squat and pick up one of those 150# rounds and jump it to the truck ???? I swear I pull a muscle or throw my ole back out and start reaching for Advil!! Well done Hoss.....

Great job Scheib, no pretentiousness, just good ole fashioned wood-hound stuff! Len (Devon 🇬🇧)

The cone works so great. It looks cheezy like it's a novelty or joke but it's a difference between night and day. Once you use it you will never want to use it without out it... keeps you from having to clear a path. It will walk the log around trees and stumps and over that stuff you shoved to the side.

That's awesome I wish I was your friend I'd be right there helping

Excellent video! Keep ‘em coming please

Thanks, will do!

Awesome setup. My back was breathing a sigh of relief just watching you. In addition to the nose cone, one more word of advice, Invest in some 1/2" shackles to replace those carabiners. From experience, the carabiners are not made for the surging, jerky movements. What will happen after a while is the metal will fatigue and stretch, locking it closed. Hope it helps....

That thing is slicker than snot on a door knob

That winch is doing a great job. With the cone I’m sure it would work even better. Glad to see you back in full swing!

Man, I wish I had one of those! Whole bunch of dead White Ash trees out in the bush, down an embankment. Footing is tricky as hell, because this site is used to dump yard waste, tree trimmings, chips, dirt, concrete chunks, etc. Also, the grove of dead trees they come from is FULL of widow makers, and hung up trees- NOT eager to cut in there! Due to all the new houses going in, they've raised the level of the dumpsite by close to 10', with all the excess dirt and torn out concrete and asphault. Cured the issue of the spring/fall mud pit for good, but the edges and banks- where all the wood, leaves etc are exposed make for very difficult footing. And that's where the Ash trees they've knocked over are... NOT fun, working with a chainsaw, while trying not to fall. If I could just pull them up onto the solid top, that'd be awesome. The nosecone would be the bees knees for getting around all the obstacles. Stuff is rock solid, and nearly seasoned as-is. I hate to see it just left to rot...

You really need to have a front-end cone to keep the logs from digging into the ground and to help keep the wood cleaner.

It did go fairly well, Scheib. The cone will help next time. Catch ya on the next one. Kenny

Gotta hand it to you , for trying roadside winchin. Rigging snatch blocks up at a elevated reach height 6 foot or better will make for easier pullin. I still think your truck in 4 Low w/smooth low Medium throttle will out pull your winch time wise. I use my 8000 Lb upright warn winch as last resort Firewoodin. Your buddy give you a good tip w/neutral emergency brake parking. Always safer with two people firewoodin together. I still think 30-50 yards 3/8 wire rope would serve you well. Your nickle your call. I like wire rope chokers w/10-12" loop on one end, with a Bell & Nub on the other. Look around For a swaging Crimper & you can make your own chokers any length you want. With a little practice winchin Roadside logging will make it a lot easier for you. Take a run at it.

That Winch is a Work Saver for Sure 😮

Good stuff boys. That will help get the gold. Time for a 🍺

I made a "skidding shoe" years ago, like a ski for the nose of the log so its not digging in, would be an option for possibly skidding 2 for 1. A second snatch block for redirection could be handy too.

If you ever go out west to go Elk and Mule Deer hunting bring that winch with you, it will come in real handy.

Funny I had the same thought I just brought home my last load yesterday, I was thinking yup this is the last time I do this until it cools down

Dude that thing works slick! Ive seen them around and wondered how useful it would be, I think you're gonna get a ton more firewood out with that bad boy. Take care bud.

You should use the skidding cone from Portable Winch! Would prevent the log from digging in therefore less friction and an easier pull. Might even save you the use of a pulley at the log on most job!

I like your new video you guys did a really good job this will make nice firewood for you when can you make a video of you mowing your grass with the bad boy Rumble love your video buddy 🍺🍺

I know you get alot of suggestions so here is one more....bring a cant hook, help guide logs around trees.

Scheib, I'm sure the nose cone would have helped but you have a ton of logs you could have put under the logs to make is easier to drag and it wouldn't have dug up the ground as much either. But that thig is a work hourse for sure!

Thanks for the tips!

These winches are pretty slick. I could have used them a few times. I usually just cut them to 10-15 foot length and drag them out with my ATV, SxS, or tractor. Every now and then it is in a place to tight or there is something hung up. I would consider getting some wheel chocks to put behind your tires when you are pulling. You def don't want to just put it in park at least have the parking break on. Not to good on the tranny.

You are doing a good job keep up the good work

Get a Cable skidder..... and be done with that fishing line and yellow water buoy😂

Scheib,that looks like one heck of a tool. That will certainly cut your time rolling rounds. Thanks for showing us your winch in action. Logs that big got to pull really hard. Do you think if you went with an 8ft or 12ft log you would save time. I know you have more logs to pull but it wouldn’t take as much time. Just a thought. I have never seen these tools work before . Have a good one whooo .

Wanted one for a while.. Skeptical. They just don't look like it's got enough ass.. Max pulls 2200 pounds or so . Most logs weigh more than that for what we do every day..PLUS the friction of the ground- be like pushing your truck while someone holding the brakes on lol

Okay; so you inspired me… just picked up a PCW3000 forestry kit version. Since I don’t find myself dealing with much Oak I went that route… Got a chance to pull logs off a twisted pile vs. using Jason power. That right there was worth it!

@@OutsidewithScheib I used it in the woods today! Took some thinking to plan things out but I ended up clearing a bit of a “landing” as a staging area for pulls from different directions. Then it was a straight shot to the truck. The skidding cone (looks kinda dorky) but is well worth it IMO… Took down some hung up trees as well. 👍🏻

Keep nice and cool and drink a lot of beer and drink some water

Damn handy.

I used a peevy to wiggle the log as it moves forward. This keeps it from digging into the ground as it gets pulled.

Now it's Miller time

You have to watch the drum and the rope while you're winching, if you aren't pulling enough on the rope, or if the load is too heavy, the drum will spin faster than the rope is moving and you'll damage your rope.

Is there any advantage if your anchor tree spot was higher on the tree. Would it help if your choker was like 10 feet down the log? Just asking because I don’t know. I’m thinking I should learn more about it though. Good video fellas!

If the choker point was higher it it would lift the front of the tree up once it was closer to the anchor other than that not sure.
