Lewis Winch

[CFT]

Anybody else have a Lewis Winch?
It’s very handy.
What do you think of the non stranded steel cable, but the other winch line?
I get tired of the fraying and torn up hands.

 

[Yukon Stihl]

Yes very handy
i have old cable on mine.All my winch cables are old so i get used to the bleeding because usually i am not wearing gloves.

Synthetic winch line is very cool shit! Just use it correctly

I had one.
They are very strong,, pulled a big log onto a trailer, sheared the pins on the drum.
Wire rope was fine.
Not a nice job to replace the pins..
I sold it as I couldnt justify not using it.
had a 2071 on it.

How did you anchor it when you pulled with it?

I remember a salesman tried selling those to the forestry, said they were built tough, we put one on a Mac 660 and promptly destroyed it.

I could not turn it down.

PO used it for hunting.
