I got one of the 4000 series.. biggest problem/limitation is not the ability of the motor to keep the capstan drum spinning, in fact I've never been able to stall it out, the limitation is with the ability of the rope to grab the capstan drum and not just have it slip.. Bigger the rope you use, less wraps you can get, and more slippage.. but use too small of a rope and it'll just snap. Using 1/4" dyneema winch line is the best I've found, can get 5 wraps and it's alot harder for it to slip vs 3-4 you can get with 7/16"-3/8" rope

Pascal I looked into the Lewis Winch many years ago and it can winch double what the Portable Winch can do in a straight line pull and is slightly faster. There was a couple reasons I used the Portable winch. 1st l liked the rope better then steel cable. If you don’t have the spool tightened up on the LW you’ll end up with a bad birds nest and possibly need to replace the cable. 2nd you’re limited on cable length to 150’. 3rd reason was weight, the Portable Winch I first started using was the PCW5000 weighing in at 35 lbs while the Lewis Winch body alone was 22lbs when you add the 150’ cable and a 50cc chainsaw engine you are between 42 &50lbs . With that being said the Lewis winch is a TANK and can pull some serious weight when you add a snatch lock and get multiplied mechanic advantage. Either unit would be a pleasure to use and make my timber harvesting easier. Thanks for watching, commenting and sharing your story.👍TCT

Couple thoughts from the peanut gallery. A. Ear protection B. Why not pull the log up into the trailer ? Then dump it and buck it at home at your leisure. Cuts your 12 hour day by 2 hours easily. C. standing directly in line of the pull might be considered dangerous when working with a winch. Maybe that rope will never break, snap or tear apart but. . . . There is a bunch of kinetic energy in that line it it's going to be released violently should it fail. Don't get dead -Chris Carlson

Miguel though all three units(5000, 4000, 3000Li battery) I’ve tested can do a straight line pull of 2200lbs I find I like the 4000 the best for a couple reasons. Almost 10 lbs difference between the 5000 and 4000, and yes you can tell the difference when working all day. The rope capture is not plastic but painted metal of some kind and definitely looks like the fingers that hold the rope will last a long time. I also like the fact I don’t have to worry about tipping motor and engine killing on the 4000 like the 500O. It’s not a big issue but when you’re working a the side of a hill it gets annoying having to keep engine level. With all that said my money is on the 4000 if I had to pick one.

It’s very well made and I don’t see it breaking easily. And if it should break in the field it will operate identical to the 5000. But, as I pointed out the engine is the big difference. You will find when engaging the capstans pulley the engine rocks from side to side. Many times on the 5000 the engine stalled on me because it wasn’t level. This get more important when working on a hill or incline. The 4000 works in all conditions. Hope this answers your question 👍TCT
