Man I'm jealous of that winch and those blocks. Please do more in-depth videos of the blocking and tackling and procurement of that type of equipment. I've been obsessed with it for several years but don't have the know-how.
This was a year ago! I can’t believe I haven’t seen it. I guess I haven’t been subscribed as long as I thought. Any way, I appreciate the different rigging techniques as a retired Laborer (40 years), I’m still using some of the tricks I learned from necessity back then. I’m an old man now, so need them more than ever. Good video. Thanks. (even laughed at the “bark” joke) Gonna use it soon as possible👍😀
I can appreciate all of the camera angles you've getting here. Great editing of all those shots. Camera setups make getting your work done 3x more difficult huh! Thanks for taking the time to do it so well. Your saw sure gets after it!
Yeah at least takes 3 times as long when shooting video. Or longer. Thanks for the comment. I will soon be doing a video about sharpening my saw chains and why they cut the way they do.
This is my first time on your channel and I subscribed. I really enjoyed the video. Great job of using mechanical advantage to get that big log pulled out. Take care 👍
I am super impressed with your videos. Your care for the land and forest. I was thinking about this watching the video : Do you think it would have been safer to go down the hill, and buck off the top of the log, instead of the 8' Butt log? Or to buck off the 8' butt log like you did? Buck off as long of length off the top as you could? To Help it lay down on the Hillside.
Nice job on pulling that one out. Glad you was checking for safety hazards, that big of a tree could play havoc real quick on you. My wife said she accepts shipping product anytime . 😂 great job there Sir. Thanks for sharing.
Yes definitely have to respect large heavy objects, they can mess you up pretty quickly. If Bonnie wants to arrange shipping that would be fine. although it might be cheaper just to come get it. The cedar I’ve seen coming off your mill might actually be prettier than our incense cedar.
Not very often but it does happen sometimes. Keeping the drum brake working helps and preventing situations where things go slack inside the drum and tangle up.
It would 4X the power if I was to run the end of the line to a second block on the log, then back up to the anchor by the tractor. Since I’m only running it back and hooking to the log, it’s only 3X. However number of lines there are between the force and the load is how many X. In this case, there were only 3 lines between. I hope that made sense. If not, let me know and I can give it another shot.
Good video buddy lots of rigging but you did it safely and that's a tree worth the effort
Thanks Adam, yep should be well worth it.

I'm impressed. Nicely Done.
Nice catch on that exhaust cap!
😁👍
Looking forward to learning about that breakaway block.
Awesome pull.thankz for the whinching tipz!
Thank you for commenting.

Welcome to the channel, I’m glad to hear you enjoyed. Thanks for the nice comment.
Nice pull. Cheers
OHH...!
The 'bark...!'
...Took me a minute...
Yeah now you get it. I am guessing there may be a lot of people who didn’t pick up on that at all.
Great video. Going to watch part 2 now.
Thanks Dave.

Great rigging there. Gonna be some beautiful lumber coming soon 💯✌️🍁🪶
Yes I’m looking forward to seeing what comes out of them.

The little tractor that could...good video!
Ha ha yep. Thanks Paul
That's a good size tree. You done a great job getting it out
Thanks Joey.
@@WilsonForestLands you're welcome
Great catch!
Whenever you use the winch I can't help but think about Dennis Nedry in Jurassic Park. Watch out for dilophosauruses.
love snatch blocks !!
How far apart are the property’s ? Not where but how far apart , interested in travel time spent 🙏🏻❤️👍🏻
That's some long line😂
165 feet of it.
Great video! Looking forward to the second part.
Thank you for the comment. The third one should be coming out soon too.
I had that same farmi winch back in the early 90s now i have a 240 d timberjack skidder 😜
How much line on that Fermi winch?
Curious what RPM you set tractor with winch…
Nice identification of the bark on the dogwood...but how on earth did you know the downed tree was an Incense cedar?
I used the dogwood to sniff it out for me.
Nice work!
Thanks Glade
Good job
Thanks Steven
Do you have much trouble with your cable getting bound up on the drum and being hard to pull out?
Not very often but it does happen sometimes. Keeping the drum brake working helps and preventing situations where things go slack inside the drum and tangle up.
Looks like a Farmi 351 winch. That is what I have 👍I just read your about. It’s a 501. Bigger.
It’s bigger and it’s also very old. They last a long time, so I definitely recommend them.
I was listening for the dog bark but didn't hear it lol
I didn’t even hear crickets on that one. Just silence.
Walking up and down i know what that means lol 💪👊 nice work man cheers
Thank you, I appreciate the comment.
Took care of the dogwood . I think I herd it yelp.
I missed it, I had my earplugs in.
Isn't a triple line doubling a double line? Wouldn't that be 4x the power minus the loss on pulley resistance etc? Just wondering.
It would 4X the power if I was to run the end of the line to a second block on the log, then back up to the anchor by the tractor. Since I’m only running it back and hooking to the log, it’s only 3X. However number of lines there are between the force and the load is how many X. In this case, there were only 3 lines between. I hope that made sense. If not, let me know and I can give it another shot.
Yes I see. Still trying to play around with a 501 I got recently.
Yeah that's truly a triple line. Down, back, and down again. Not 4 cables. Would have to have 2 blocks at the load.
Yep exactly. If I wasn’t able to pull it with the triple line, that may have been what I ended up doing.
You gain nothing by going back to the log. Force is only multiplied by the movable pulleys. Same as having an overhead pulley
👈 We appreciate all dawg jokes
I was hoping someone besides me would be amused.

You 3 blocks to get 3 times the pull
You need three strands between blocks to 3X the pull.
