i showed this tool to my father he replied with "why would i need this when i have you". Thanks father for working me like a horse.
Trent Nelson, your dad is a hero 👍 I respect old school parents👍👏🏼, my dad was tough with me and I appreciate that a lot, I was little less my kids and they appreciate that too, sometimes when they are joking said I was tough but they are good adults. Nothing comparable to help your parents👍
If you can move those two logs onto that trailer manually you must be as strong as a horse!
Honesty is the key to good family relations.
Way to go, Cody. Been using two of these the same way, and to induce a lean in felling trees, nearly every workday for the last 13 years. Old school excellent tools and company.
Cody, you've come a long way from this video! I'm going to purchase this cable puller today and I ran across this video. I'm fascinated at the upgrade you've made from this puller to your new CAT skid steer, track loader and Yanmar tractor. "Just because you're not using a quarter of a million dollar piece of equipment doesn't mean you're a real logger....If I had a machine I'd use it...I don't have a machine." Keep up the good work!
Thanks for turning me on to this excellent product. Took delivery today. I have a small suggestion: Add a loop of high-visibility 550 paracord to the 2 essential cotter pins that come with the product: One retains the pole handle and the other retains the pulley.
Two benefits of doing so: (1) Easy to remove the cotter pins without searching for a tool. (2) Easy to find the cotter pin on the forest floor if you make the mistake of dropping it.
What an incredible piece of equipment. thanks for posting and especially the poem written by Ulysses about the many uses of of the wood harvested from Trees from cradle to grave ;). God Bless you and your family Cody
I and my dad have been using one of those for years and we have loaded many logs like that with one. Never had the money for equipment, not even a big tractor. Wish ours had the new rope. They really come in handy.
You understand the spirit of logging and I love it and draw inspiration and knowledge that I need from, so thank you!
I have been using the power pull for many years. Keep it in my truck for pulling my 4x4 if i get stuck. I have the cable one but sure like the looks of the rope.
Excellent product...! Great demo....! Thanks for posting! Gordon
I used to have one of those until someone decided they wanted it. Hands down the best puller or "come-along" I've ever had.
This is how you start a morning in the field, setting in my tank waiting to shot a gunnery and watching a new wranglerstar video. Thank you Mr. Wranglerstar and God Bless you and yours.
Lol I wish I was in the woods.
Barry Girky I wish I was sitting in a tank, :)
wranglerstar where you in the Army? I've seen a 3rd ID patch in your video's.
wranglerstar not if Your at Fort Irwin Calif in the middle of summer when its over 100°F
Walt Lars don't mention NTC.. I have two rotations this year. Got to love the Cav.
I bought one of these about 20 year's ago been a great tool. First time I used it I pulled a 63 Cadillac with 4 flat tires and a locked up rear end on my trailer. I've pulled many motors from car's and truck's with this tool.
Great video. I know I was supposed to be watching your hard work and the winch but guys, watch it again, isn't that just a beautiful place, the low mist hanging in the trees.
Wow, those are very impressive!!!
Absolutley love the 2 power pullers i own. They are a must have.
That Amsteel is amazing stuff. We use it all over our tugs and barges. It's so strong the metal on the boats fail before it.
Great nuggets of wisdom! Yes great poem! Green Doug fir, love the smell!
My first time viewer and I am a subscribed member. I noted that snatch block for redirecting. A tow truck operators best friend and the tool for everything you need to maneuver . Thank You,I really enjoyed watching
I am defiantly going to have to buy couple of these for my property. I have to move my shed away from the house and I bet I can do it with this power puller. Thanks for sharing the video!!!
I bought one of those for my truck over 30 years ago and it still works better than anything else I have as far as come along hand power tools.
Awesome Mr. Wranglerstar, tnx for sharing!!!
Nice Cody! Cool free stuff. I'll buy a couple for sure. Thanks
excellent video! I have used cable jacks for quite a long time. stretching fence, pulling engines, and recovering vehicles that are stuck. this type of tool works very well away from the trailer or a vehicle out in the field. where you don't have any power. but when you have a flatbed trailer, that has a square mount for a trailer hitch that can be bolted onto the back of an electric wench with remote control. when you get it close to the trailer go ahead and use the electric winch....
it's a lot faster and easier, after you've been dragging those logs out of the woods!
Bought one last week due to this video. Needed to pull my broken down land rover onto a transport trailer. Worked like a champ and now I have another quality tool in the truck box. Baileys Online had them for under $300 shipped.
Not sure if you tried or maybe you already know this, but you can also use the snatch block to increase the winch's pulling power - in this case, you can attach the block to the chain, and the hook in the end of the line back on the winch, or on a port near it. If half the length of the rope is enough for you (well of course you can extend it with a chain or anything like that), then you get even more power from your more power puller :)
These have been out for many years, by far the best if used properly.
Wow my friend you are a top dog in those woods.
Great videos!!!
craxd1 is correct. These have been made since 1906, and known as the More Power Puller by Weyth-Scott Co.:
Here in WV coal mines they are Red Devils. Have rebuilt hundreds of them over 20+ yrs repairing coal mine equipment. Normally had to make new pivot pins for the claws. Press straighten the claws, (could not heat under any circumstances). If the claws or even the spool would break while straightening we just junked them and used the rest of the hoist for parts.
Have seen many many hooks come in the shop with the hooks straighten out by the load put on them. The handle is made for a 6ft. slate bar to fit in.
Most of the mines we worked for wanted 50ft of 5/16 multi-strand wire rope put back on them.
One of the most common uses in the mines for them is pulling conveyor belts back together after they break. They would hook up two, three, four Red devils end to end to pull a loaded conveyor belt back together so it could be re-laced.
Well enough about memory lane.
jimb in wv
Good info Jim thanks
I worked in the mines for 40 years in southern west PA. Used them almost daily. Watch your fingers!
Thumbs up as always Cody. More please.

Thanks for showing this ~ I've been looking for ways to move some blow-down logs out of our woods
These are an indespensable asset in the world of the manly man. I had a couple really nice aluminum ones about the same size as yours. They were involuntarily and permanently borrowed by an unknown person. Though mine had stainless cable in them. I got myself in and out of more disasters using them.
Now I have a few cheap China cable pullers (scary dangerous unreliable garbage)and a couple very heavy old school chain type pullers did I mention heavy.
Once again thank you. I haven't sent that book yet but I will.
My dad found one of these in the junk along time ago... ancient old thing, completely covered in rust, but, still works great....
I grew up using one of those. wish I could had a use for one now. very much worth the money
That's just the back saver I need for firewood hunting. Aussie jarrah, redgum, and whitegum is bloody heavy. And the Jeep hood is still good ! ...... with a little panel beating.
I bought one of these with cable at a garage sale for 25 dollars, the best purchase ever!
Awesome video Cody! I actually pulled one out of the pile at the scrapyard a few years ago. Thought it was just probably worthless, but cool old antique. Now I need to restore it to use, as you said parts are available. Thanks
Wasn't expecting the poetry but wow that was cool and appropriate. Great video!
Enjoyed your video. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the review. I’m getting one.
been around fer -ever I have one as old as all my pulleys and block and tackle..... all Gramps old "schtuff"-still works great!!!
REAL manly work juxtaposed with poetry as it relates to the empirical, but also acknowledging the transcendent, a problem solved. Now, time for a beer.
My grandfather had one of these that he got from his dad. His looked exactly like these, but had no paint. I actually used it a couple of times while in high school in the late seventies. Wish I knew where it was today.
That is amazing work ! I'm getting some for backup I still prefer my winch.
You seriously crank out quality videos. I don't know how you do it! I missed a few days of youtube and suddenly there are 10 new videos to watch!!
All of these so called helpful and negative comments...he was simply demonstrating how useful the power puller is. Of course he could have backed up to the log, of course he could have done the job with other methods, he did in fact, demonstrate how useful the tool is and the possibilities of all the uses it was made for. Great demonstration, Mr Wranglerstar!
You and Mrs. Wranglerstar are good stewards.
Worth every penny I've got one and it pulls way More than rated pulled my off-road truck up hill in waist deep snow slow but reliable absolutely last a lifetime
This reminds me of a Tirfor pulley that I have been using for many years but much more simple, but good never the less.
I have several power pulleys that were passed down from my dad, they have been around for year's, have one that has been carried in every truck we owned over MY 60yrs of life and it still work's quite well.
The others have been used in logging, mining, field equipment repair, ect. If you maintain them and keep them clean ie, oil them, wiping the cable down and oiling it, I think they could turn into family heirlooms! LOL!
That is defiantly a useful tool that has been around for a long long time, and it has many uses but do yourself a favor and just mount a hand crank boat winch on your trailer. Less chance of hurting yourself and 10 times faster.
Great tool. I can see multitudes of uses in the north Maine woods where there's no grid or place to get a winch in.
Hey Cody, these pullers are awsome. Quick story for you. I purchased one and paid of course 300 plus for it, very happy with it. The other day I was in an antique mall and there was one sitting in a booth, it had been used and all the paint was off of it and it needed a new steel cable. Heres the great part, it was priced at $12.50 . I about had a heart attack, lol. now I have two of them.
Cody the blue line is called am steel I use a 3/8 line for my chipper winch and it is awesome I have never owed one of those but after seeing what you did with it I am going to bye one thanks again for the great video
a very clever piece of kit would come in handy for a few uses
Awesome so much lenth pulling power i want
Using the Jeep hood for a smooth sliding float is genius! Tips like that are why I'm a subscriber. I have one of the cable More Power Pullers, and I've used it MANY times. Sure wish I had the blue poly rope instead of the cable.
+Aaron Rippentrop I looked at the pre-made lines right after watching the video and noticed they were kind of spendy. Your reminder has me looking for splicing videos here on TH-cam to make my own. Thanks!
Lug-all makes GREAT come alongs too
you have an old red devil come-a-long they have been around for over 50 years. they are actually fairly primitive , I like the lug all type they have cable, rope, strap and stainless marine types also
Thank you
I like the use of the jeep hood as a sled.
Nicely done.
After using come-alongs for pulling logs and trees, these look like a much better option. I especially like the amount of rope on that spool. You don't have to keep resetting your winch.
Interesting. I'm considering something like this product. Thanks.
Again, very good movie for a very good tool. small question though... instead of pulling the log those 25 feet to the trailer, couldn't you back the trailer to the log? I mean, you got it to the road, back the trailer up, and pull it up on from much closer... or did you go the extra mile just for the sake of the video? :)
Steve Wilcox
If he really wanted to test the pullers then he should let his wife sink the tractor in mud again and use the puller to get it out of the mud. THAT would be a good test!
Nice logs there!
A more easier way to do this, is to line up your log hood to your trailer ramp. Connect the chains to the log and through the hood and over the trailer, and hook it to your cars trailer mount. and just drive. you will drag the log on to the hood and the hole thing would slide on to your trailer with ease
The uses for a puller like that are truly endless. That's a fine tool! There's no sheet metal to be found on that one! I would have sworn that it was a restored antique buy the quality in it.
I used a new 2 1/ 2 ton to pull out some bushes and the darn come a long self destructed. I then use a high lift jack as a horizontal pull like a come a long and the Jack got the job done.
I would have back the trail back some to save time cranking the power puller but good to see how this worked
I've had one of these for years although mine has steel cable on the drum. I call it my 'mule' and keep it in my truck for my trips to the "Old Place" which is a 1.5 miles off the paved road..
My father gave me a Wyeth Scott puller ( Come-A-Long) almost 30 years ago It was old and wore out when he gave it to me made in the early 40s . Come to find out they are made here in the town I live in Newark Ohio, I took it over and they rebuilt it for me good as new! They are bullet proof and will last more than a life time!
you could also use that pulley setup to double the pulling power of the rope by connecting the end hook to the puller and putting the pulley end on the log doubles the power of the pull if you had another pulley you could triple the effective pull great device!
I love synthetic winch line. Great stuff. Just have to protect it from pinches or abrasion
@ 1:20 "...used in the rafters of my timber frame...". Brought a tear to my eye. I hope you were not joking. And that we get some sort of an update on this. Now back to the video...
An A frame mounted such that you can stand it up when needed, mounted on the trailer would make a great place for that extra pulley. The idea being that getting the front of the log elevated a bit means a lot less friction against the earth and ramps such that the car hood gizmo is not required. It would save a lot of work.
I was saving up for material for a workbench... But now I have to save up for one of these too!
Great pullers!
Awesome video. I put a Isuzu rodeo on a trailer like yours with no ramps with a (come a long)..Great tool to have
I grew up using these, probably have a half dozen of them and carry one in my truck and side by side.
I've actually drug a 6000 lb van upside down onto a car trailer with the cable version of this winch. Worth there weight in gold! Mine was give to me though, so that's easy for me to say.
I laughed when I first viewed this vlog. I absolutely hate those cheap cable comealongs. You get what you pay for. The last time I was helping my father cut birch on a newly logged right of way in Northern Alberta when my truck got stuck. Tried the cheap cable unit which broke and after a lot of frustration I threw it into the bush. A dangerous piece of garbage. Later it was replaced with a 2 ton chain comealong I bought in Prince George. The ones you are testing look great and because they are cast I will purchase in future. Thanx
Heard about using hoodz for harvesting before, great to see how this is done.
Ive had the same one with cable for 30 years.. paid 140 bucks for it back then..at my local ace hardware store..
They are great,, my 40 year old one just broke,, so will be getting a newer one.
mine works like a champ. A 3x3 piece piece of plywood a more power puller and a hilift jack have gotten me out of a ton of trouble
I use the blue rope ( Dyneema) on my Runva winch. Good stuff and far safer than chain or wire.
Really cool video. I've done very little logging/timber processing but I do know that would've been a ton more work without those pullers if you didn't want to process all of it on the spot. Good work
I think just about anyone that had one of the cheep come-a-longs has bent them...
I picked up may in the metal pile and rebuilt them, welding on heavier braces to keep it from bending so easy.
I built a few from heavy steal, much better, but took some time
But this come-a-long you are reviewing looks good and strong. I might look into it... Thanks for the review.
one of the best things about your videos is that fact that you usually do things alone - for those of us that live alone, it shows how to do it safer and easier. unless you have a deep wallet or a huge group of friends, doing things alone is just avoidable for some of us.
one less rat mo
Cody mention finding casters at a garge sale one of best finds was a sail boat block and tackle with a 5 pulley systen 2 at one end at the other with a cam lock on the 3 pulley block so I could pull by hand then let go and grab some more rope and pull again
I had a cheap come along that I used along with the sailboat block and tackle to pull a engine
between the cam lock and the rope grapper on the comealong I felt comfortable working alone around a heavy hanging load
awesome! Would be good if we could use those around here, but we cop a huge fine if we're caught using winches of any kind. If we can't cut it up small enough or pick it up, we're not allowed to take it. (gotta leave the big stuff for the "professional" loggers) .. Would be nice to find a windfall that size too!
Best hand winch ever made. Don't go anywhere with out mine. Also that's not just dyneema line that's amsteel blue. Wyeth-Scott Co. states 3 ton dead lift capabilities and 6 ton drag. I've been amazed for years that this isn't the most common kit for 4x4ers and farmers.
Having used the cheaper cable variety numerous times through the years, as well as one with a heavy-duty linked chain (like on a motorcycle), this looks well made, as well as easier to handle with the synthetic line.
Having said that, as a rigger for 27 years, my only critique would be in part 2, using the chain in a triangle formation is asking for trouble, as the weight could shift and the chain rendering to the lighter side. Best to loop each side separate, with the same chain. If you were to have a chain with only one hook and needed to do that triangle, then a simple half hitch over the lifting hook would mitigate a flop to the heavy side.
Great tool and review, especially for when electrical is not an option!
well I'm here to tell ya some times when it's seriously cold and your miles out in the boonies it's a very good idea to have a solid backup, where shorts, dead batteries and straight up electrical failure can make for a very uncomfortable night
These are made if i remember in a shop in Newark Ohio,,, I got two that work great
I am quite sure the Name of that Rope is AMSTEEL BLUE. I use it on my property quite a bit. :)
It is incredibly strong and very TOUGH against abrasion !!
Poor poor wrangler hood! At least it is still useful in its second life as a logging sled. Still get a kick out of the wranglerstar history coming back into the homesteading life.
I like your poem.
I have had one of these with the blue poly line for about 6 years now and I can't tell you how many times I've used it, when you double line it you have 3 tons of pull that thing is worth its weight in gold, i got it directly from the manufacturer i think it cost about 285.00
That snatch-block is a real advantage. I would have backed up to log with the trailer rather than skidding it so far on the dirt road. I know you are trying to show the use of the puller though. It looks really sweet. Keep on loggin'!
