Make Your Chain Saw Work Harder Rope Winch

Make Your Chain Saw Work Harder Rope Winch WOODLOT EQUIPMENT Saws 18-2-29 You can use your chain saw to power the new Capstan rope winch. It only takes a minute to make the switch. Just remove the saw's cutterbar and chain, then insert a furnished adapter and cutterlessdrive chain. You can also buy the new winch factory- equipped with a 2-cycle, 3.0 cu. in. gas engine. Both models pull with 5/16 in. dia nylon or polyester rope ù not wire cable. "They pull loads faster and farther than 12 volt powered winches. You can pull loads long distances, or continuously, without over-heating the motor or loss of pulling power. What's more, rope is safer if it breaks and snaps back," the manufacturer points out "Rope is wrapped around a rotating spool to provide pulling power. You can take up the slack in the winch line, or play out the line, by hand - without running the winch. Pulling power doesn't decrease as the drum fills, as is the case with drum-type winches." Powered by a 3.5 cu. in. chain saw engine, the winch will pull a 2,5001b. load at 22 ft. per minute. Works with 3.5 cu. in. or smaller chain saws. Retails for $524 with a 3.0 cu. in. gas engine, and $410 without. Contact. FARM SHOW Followup, Berens Associates, 1977 O'toole Ave., B-205, San Jose, Cal. 95131 (ph 408 321-8740).
