Hi Hank! I've always wanted one of those Warn 18,000 lb. winches. It seems to work very well for you. You must be happy with your Warn.On 12/04/22 I removed a few small logs from my mom's pond per her request. I borrowed skidding tongs from my buddy John. Easy work for me and the 24v 18,000 lb rated Warn electric winch mounted on my bobbed deuce.

Liking the (weighted?) skirt by Warn for the cable. Whiplash can do nasty things (sure do remember those USN training videos). That's a good idea.

You made that look easy !
Wish I would have known about those thongs after Hurricane Zeta as I just wrapped a military wrecker chain on a downed pecan tree but that gizmo would have saved me time.......and lots of effort as those wrecker chains at my age now are just crazy heavy

but I'm thinking that wrecker chain (especailly when you're pulling a lot of it)
is plain crazy heavy no matter how many birthdays anybody wants to count

Yes Sir. Those tongs are cool - and a Can Hook to roll that limb into position.

Called a Peavey I think it is. Mighty handy if you're working logs!

Yes sir, I'm very happy with my Warn winch so far. I've used it for a few gardening demo jobs, and I pulled a few vehicles out with it too. I highly recommend it if you can't run a PTO winch. When I repowered with the Cummins 6BT and AT545, the PTO on the Allison tranny is on the wrong side. Therefore, I sold my original deuce 10K Garwood winch to another SS member.
