Oh, I see you added a stuntman in the mix at 3:15. I hope he's okay. Thanks for the video.
Haha Oops!
I was about to pin this timepoint as well lol
3:15 poor guy 🤣
It's a great man that is willing to sacrifice his ego for the benefit of everyone else. 👍
You can set a block above your GRCS to prevent spinning. so the force is directed up ward not sideways.
The guy falling in the background at 3:15 cracked me up. Its like an everday thing.
Camera man watching him for another fall 🤣🤣
Seems like there is some confusion concerning GRCS and "side loads".
The GRCS uses a Harken 46 traction winch. You can pull on the winch in any direction that is perpendicular to the shaft which holds the drum. The winch is just as strong for all 360°. In this case you should have a fairlead ensuring the tensioned rope stays at the base of the winch. Pig tails or various bars and loops of steel act as fairleads. Pulling on the winch at the base will reduce loading on the winch as well as the anchoring system (strapped to a tree trunk). If you have a shock load which causes the winch to twist around on the tree, unless there is a fairlead keeping the pull on the winch perpendicular to the shaft, the winch drum will see axial load. The rope force will literally be trying to pull the drum off of the winch shaft. Strider indicates there is just plastic retaining the winch drum. That very well could be...to limit damage that can be done to the winch. These winch drums must not be set up with trust bearings or at least not anything significant. Anyway, if you set up a block above the winch, this will prevent any loading that could cause the winch to twist around on the tree trunk. Side loading isn't a structural problem for the winch. It is a problem to keep the winch from sliding around the tree.
You guys are under-paid! As a former rock-climber, and having cut my own firewood from 60'+ standing stems for 12+ years, I am very impressed with the way you manage risk. Stay safe!
How do you know they are underpaid? I am pretty sure they got a nice sandwich out of it…
great job! Thanks for explaining a complex problem and especially appreciate your open self-criticism, shows a lot about you as a man.

Interesting approaches- glad you GRCS is repairable and the fail did not occur in a way-where your felling strategy would have gone wrong. Your enthusiasm is awesome.
always appreciate seeing errors posted for the benefit of all
Refining your set up is never a bad thing.. I appreciate your the way you work and use alot of what you post in my own operation (with my own twist on it).
I'd like to send you a video or two with things that I try. Let me know if you'd want to see them.
All the best.
Appreciate the honesty. Very valuable information, thank you
Also check out the ATD winch out from Europe...you may already know about it...
Never heard of it I’ll have to take a look
Even with a redirect above it I still hate those GRCS to bitsy inside them need a beefier system
I’ve put some huge material on these things and mine has held up pretty well for the last few years, but yeah I wouldn’t be opposed to having it more stout
Most of us that are at least familiar with friction devises and GRCS know to not side load them. But we all make mistakes.
How many years you got in tree work my man? just out of curiosity
Super helpful to consider
That’s why you read the manual before use.
So how many extra trees do you usually remove before you actually remove the tree you’re contracted for? Seemed like a lot of healthy cedars. I once saw a self proclaimed master pro alpha dude cut a perfectly healthy 50 ft silver maple because it was on the left side of the tree and would have had to make a kerf cut.
……cool bro
How I can contact those guys I just broke my grcs today ?
Gotta fair lead it to a block over head
Cool 😎
How much do cost grcs?
over 3k these days
3:14 🤣
May I ask why you don't wear chaps?
Might be chainsaw pants hes wearin
Same reason he probably is not wearing safety glasses also...he doesn’t care about setting a professional example for our industry. Safety first. I’d choose 100 stitches in my leg before an eye ball lost forever. The longer you do something dangerous the greater the odds are not in your favor.
How about a 40 year career felling trees with no safety glasses ??
Just saying 😉
@@stevefrazier2214 Do arborists wear safety glasses along with their Protos face shield?
Watch the boy beyon you
Must be nice to have an inheritance. “Hahahahaha I just made a $3000 mistake. Hahahbahabahahahahabahahaha!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA!”
Yeah that hurt 😅 but thankfully they guys at goodrigging.com sent me over the parts to fix it that day, and it was up and running again the next week :) that was some killer customer service !
