Electric Portable Capstan Winch, Brushless Motor, 1000-2000 lbs Max Pulling Force, Includes 100ft Low-Stretch Rope, Battery & Charger - Ideal for Forestry, Hunting, Off-Road

I had high expectations and this winch definitely met them. I didn't want to write a review until it had proven itself (or not). I used it to haul a pretty big black tail deer up a steep hillside through some rough terrain and debris, and that while it was raining decently most of the time. It worked great! The included anchor strap isn't really sized for west coast trees/stumps, but substituting a tow strap or some tubular webbing solves that limitation. I also already had a longer static rope that I used rather than the one that came with the winch, but the one that comes with it looks very usable. I bought a spare battery, and I would highly recommend having at least one if not two extra batteries for pulling longer total distances. This thing is going with me on every hunting trip from now on! Highly recommended!

I couldn't be more pleased! I didn't really have any logs to drag around right now so I tested it on my mower. Works perfectly! No complaints. Actually, on my first video take, I forgot to take the parking brake off. The winch dragged it up there anyway 🤣. Plenty of power and any number of uses!

Loved the ease of use and flexibility in use. Looks to be well made and easily moved a 700 pound tree we needed to plant in a place I couldn’t get a backhoe. The only negative is the battery life seemed shorter than expected. But we just charged it up and ready to go again

Very helpful tool! Make sure charged before pulling so you don't run out of battery mid-pull. Also, always tend the rope or can wind on itself necessitating cutting the line to free it. Dangerous under tension!. Use a block and tackle to multiply pulling force of the winch. Be careful out there!

This is gunnies machine, I was doing a electrical job in NYC where I was limited with space and had to purchase this machine to pull some cables, I was pulling 500mcm cable like nothing with this machine and I couldn’t not believe how strong it was, only thing that I purchased was additional battery because if you pulling heavy duty things battery is not that great so I purchased another one, I would recommend highly recommend this machine 💯

I used the winch to pull several 10 foot logs for more than 100 feet and it worked flawlessly. A few of these logs were in excess of 12 inches in diameter and the winch had no problems. The battery runs out after a few pulls, so if you plan on using it extensively, you probably want to buy a spare battery.

the rope it came with snapped in the inner strands. You will probably need to get a better quality static rope if you want to use the unit to its maximum potential. The capstan winch unit itself is good, albeit not as strong as a gas one 3 times the price.

My use case is directional felling of 10-16” pines. In most cases this winch was adequate; it probably always would be if I set it up on every tree before cutting. However, if I judge the lean wrong and the tree settles back the wrong way, this does not always have the power to tip it into the right direction (even in one case with a 4x leverage pulley setup). Also, when the winch auto shuts off (under too much load), the capstan rotates in reverse and the guide block instantly tears the rope jacket.
