Lewis Chainsaw Winch

Thought of you watching this Roger. I recall you coming up with
ideas to haul them out.
I like that cone idea.
Holzfforma g660 and Lewis Chainsaw Winch Skidding Logs in Deep
Snow
Holzfforma g660 and Lewis Chainsaw winch skidding logs in deep
snow is the project at hand on today's episode. With the snow
falling almost daily around here in Canada, I'm stuck embracing
it if I ever want to get anything done. With that, I'm putting
my new Holzfforma g660 chainsaw to the test along with my Lewis
Chainsaw Winch mk2 to see what I can do about the big pile of
logs piled up deep in the woods. With some tough trail ahead, I
get down to it by rigging up the winch along with my new
Skidding cone made by the Portable Winch company. I've skidded a
number of logs before in all seasons but it hasn't been until
recently that I came across this skidding cone. I'm hoping that
it helps me to ensure that I am able to navigate these logs
around objects instead of burying them deeper into the snow.
Watch as my 7hp 92cc Holzfforma (Stihl 660 clone) performs today
as I test it for the very first time attached to my Lewis
Chainsaw winch. This chainsaw winch is rate for 7hp and that is
exactly what this chainsaw is. Let's see if this 92cc chainsaw
makes a difference compared to my 60cc Husqvarna 555 which I had
originally had attached to this lewis chainsaw winch. One other
thing you'll notice today is that I have shorted the cable to
approximately 90feet from the original 150 feet that you
would've seen on my other lewis winch videos. I had trouble
handling the 150 feet of 3/8" cable without it birdsnesting and
so I decided to cut it down to something more manageable. Check
out how this reduced length impacts the usability of this winch
today. Glad you're all here, let's try this thing out!

Yes I do have a winch set up that I made from a cheapo Harbor
Freight winch that worked great. The cone idea has been
around a long time although I have not used one, but I can
definitely see the advantage of using one. I like the shape
of the one this fellow has.
Sometimes when up in the mountains there are other stumps in the
way so a cone would work great for that.
