I Can't Believe My Winch Did This!

- We found a dead tree that we thought was about to fall, so we decided to pull it with the winch, thinking it would snap. Instead, the 13,000 lb Orcish winch (amzn.to/3Fs7AOw) pulled the tree all the way over, uprooting it! I'm impressed.

"Welded the shit out of this" love the way you talk like your talking to a friend. Good video!.
Thank you. I haven't made a video in much but it's nice to know that someone appreciates these older ones.
Nothing boring here. Good to see you back Chris.
I never left brother.😉👍
Subscribed due to "the 'sh!+' outa" comment, along with all the "do alot of weird sh!+ on this property" which is why I am looking for a winch, myself... :D
I was looking for info on Orcish stuff, as I am a fan of Orc-related movies and dice-games from my younger years, (Hard as a hog-bread humanoid is how I take "Orcish")
and it'd be nice if you could give us an update on if it is still holding up 2 years later, and how much it's been used...
I use it often, doing fine except it started kicking itself on for a second every now and then. Probably moisture in the control box. I installed a switch on the positive cable, near the battery. I keep the power off to it until I need it.
Hey!!! I thought you were talking about me when you said my winch did this. Great video as always buddy. 🙈🙉🙊😂🤣
I gotta be honest, that surprises me that worked so well! That's not easy pulling a tree over! I would have thought it would bend your frame or drag your truck before the tree come down. Glad I was wrong!
Me too. We fully expected something to break.
Thank you Chris again!👍👍👍
Good stuff bud

Quality content
👍🤟
very good entertainment!
fancy winch : )
Love your videos man. Keep it up. 👍
I'm not saying it's a bad idea or anything but I would have cut the wires put a quick disconnect in it and I would have put my winch in the back of my truck so it has stayed really nice and not been out in the weather and then when you need it you get out and you slap it on every time I've had a winch it sets outside even with a bag or anything it draws moisture and eventually it stops working and these winches are like $380 each now
I actually considered that, but my toolbox is full of tools. Might be the thing to do when I retire from construction work and can take tools off the truck tho.
It's this still something you're happy with, I'm about to buy a wrench, and I'm comparing options.
Yep. Love it. I took the overload protection off a few months ago, and changed batteries in the remotes, but no problems with it so far.
@@ChrisGilliamOffGrid thank you, I think that made my decision for me than... Now it's just do I do metal cable or synthetic? Lol
@@weldmaster80 Synthetic. Way awesome stuff.
Impressive. I bought a Harbor Freight / Badlands Winch a year or so ago for the Jeep. It's 12,000 pounds, but I haven't put it on yet. I need to fix the damn brake cylinders. Brand new, yet the master and both front wheel cylinders leak.....
Brakes aren't important... :)
@@ChrisGilliamOffGrid Naw they just slow you down anyway! That fella had a good looking channel! I subed.
I'm glad you got your winch. Much better than that winch I tried to hook you up with up here in Cincinnati.
I doubt she could pull a tree over.😉
@@ChrisGilliamOffGrid Yep. Your winch is much more useful...
This is the video that you stretch your truck out a little bit Haha.
No expert here but as I understand it, the synthetic pull rope will be "safe" for only so many heavy pulls like that. I guess try to check the recommendations and just keep that in mind. Also a winch cord "safety blanket" /'cable damper" that you throw over the cord during the pull will help keep rope from snapping back and hurting someone in the event of failure especially in up close situations. Just some things I've read while in process of looking for a good winch, for what it's worth. I am totally going to look at at 13,000 lb Orisch winch for my FJ Cruiser. They also come in color choice. Great Video- Thanks!
I'm on my second rope, would be on my third if truck had not been in shop last three weeks. Had synthetic rope break once, due to heavy fraying pulling fence posts, and it just fell harmlessly. Been great winch so far, though I did have to remove in the inline overload protection that came with it, and change remote control batteries after a year.
@@ChrisGilliamOffGrid Looks awesome and thanks for the helpful feedback. Enjoying your channel, Thanks!
The good thing about synthetic line is that it is so light so it doesn´t have any dangerous kinetic energy.
Damn Chris that's badass 💪
That's powerful!!
We use nothing but the cheap winches. Orisch, X-Bull, Stegadon, they are all from the same mold I think. Use them on average 5 times a day pulling everything from Mini Coopers to 36 foot motorhomes out of the sand. Day in, day out. They are very reliable. The only one I would stay away from is the Vevor. First one doesn't free spool unless you are hooked to something, pulling with the truck. They replaced it, but I was too lazy to swap it out, and I rarely use the truck. Let the new one sit for a month, and all of the oil leaked out of the gearbox. Not impressed. We have replaced a couple winches, one when I sold my original pull vehicle I left it on, one when water was sprayed with high pressure into the unit, and when I got an additional vehicle. Only failure was one rope, and one remote control unit. Oh, and one solenoid. Well over 1k cycles per winch.
Good to know. Mine has been a beast. On my third rope now, but I abuse them, and ropes are cheap.
That is the wildest way to cut shooting lanes I’ve ever seen. Great tool. How much !?
$338. Not bad at all.
Hey, unrelated Q... is there any other way to dispatch a critter in a trap besides a gun? I really dont want the added expense of a .22 in addition to trapping supplies :(
Yes ma'am. If you never saw the video that made me famous, I stabbed a beaver....
I use a .22 pellet rifle mostly, sometimes knife, lately a Tomahawk. Use blunt end, crush the skull. Crude, but effective. And if you're walking around with a Tomahawk and some blood splatter on your face nobody will mess with you.😉😁
@@ChrisGilliamOffGrid lol oh jeez!
Oh, if you're trapping on water you can also set up drowners, but I don't like them myself. Too much work.
For smaller animals use one of your conibear traps. Just set the trap and pop it over the animal's head to fire it. The animal is dispatched cleanly, silently, and quickly. No fur damage either. Perfectly legal and very humane.
_That's one stubborn old tree. Ya, the nice thing about synthetic winch cables is they don't tend to rust up or fail like the traditional steel cables. Still keep a safe distance while under load. We don't want to hear about ya on the 6 o'clock news._ ;)
I've been on the news quite a few times actually... 😁
@@ChrisGilliamOffGrid ...and for all the wrong reasons! 😉
I see you finally got your hat.
Yep. They were waiting on me when I got back from Cincinnati. Very nice.
Do you still have this winch? How is it holding up?
Use it all the time. It is holding up very well. I've gone through at least four ropes by now and just ordered another one yesterday. The one in my link is not the same one because I believe this one is discontinued
@@ChrisGilliamOffGrid Thanks for the quick reply. Actually I am looking at their smaller winch to go on my SxS. I was looking for reviews of their winches and found your channel. Looks like some good vids. I'll be checking them out.
Hey! Is that the same as the OPEN ROAD 13,000 pound winch?? They look identical. Thx
Sure is real close. Made in same factory I'm sure.
@@ChrisGilliamOffGrid yeah probably. I think I will take the chance and buy one - others seem overpriced for doing a simple job. Hopefully the internals hold out. Cheers
Flux core welding is actually better suited for thicker material
Mine ain't. 😁 It's the Easy Flux 125. And I lack experience with it so I love my sticks.😉👍
Same welder I have, stick is a safe bet tho...👍
I thought this was gonna be a girlfriend video dam winches
Nice!!
I have a tree im trying to pull upright.
I think I'll have to cut it down.
No winch huh?😉
@@ChrisGilliamOffGrid
No sir...
Here I am messing about with saws and an axe
Heck ya she gone
I’m back Chris I’ve been watching your vids ever since I was gonna I lost my last account but im back
Good to have you back brother. 😉👍
Why not just pull or push it with your tractor? Seems powerful enough.
Maybe. Didn't think about it.
This is Mexican-levels of safe practices
Thank you!😉
That was pulled out using winch on truck ??????????? Hard to believe truck didn't get dragged ..........Hmmmmmmmmmm
Truck was chained to oak tree behind it of course. Otherwise it drags the truck easily. It's only 8k lbs.
Add a snatch block or 2 and show us maths
Even in a straight line pull it pulls my 8k lb truck forward, even with parking brake on. I had it chained to the Oak behind me today. :)
Nice winch, probably pick up your truck for a tire or oil change.
I can get under it to change the oil, but the tire change is pretty smart. 😁👍👍
Ever hear of a chainsaw?
I have three.😃
Didn't have them with me that day
Weres rose shaking her butt in this video at
I wish I knew. She dropped off face of the Earth. I'm worried about her.😟
@@ChrisGilliamOffGrid wow I guess me going to school weird shit happens
