Yeah, old leftovers from various jobs over the years. They'll get stacked under the RV trailer til I get there.
Unload trash MANually. Unless I successfully rig up some kind of pulley system for the winch.
“PNW brush special”
24” of .325” on an XS ported 346xp.
Cutting the ocean spray with the 20” echo 590 was heavy, short on reach, and chattery
This will handle anything on the property, but I’ll bring some other fun things too
A 60s dodge power wagon.
That’s my buddy’s place in Bremerton. We go back many years from being “sweptline” enthusiasts. Going to stash my truck there for the summer. Sean topped 3 deads for me there a couple years ago, and now there’s another.
That’s one I haven’t encountered yet.
Sometimes Warn refers people to this guy when there’s a tough problem. He’s really good. Helped me sort 3 winches.

Also worm drive winches are better than planetary as rule, whether electric or hydraulic. No load line speed isn’t as fast, but loaded doesn’t slow down. Also, a worm drive needs much less braking as power cannot flow backwards thru a worm drive.
I used and abused a used warn 12k for decades...
The limit of the electric winch is duty cycle. It pays to research and abide by that. Also, don’t operate them with low power very much.
A pulley can double the pull force and halve the speed or double the speed and halve the force for dragging brush. Put pulley on the end of winch line...
When I started doing swing Dutchmen, my rule of thumb (adjust with experience and trees, I’m still learning) I would do my flat cut aimed between the lean and the lay and put only the undercut to the lay. Don’t trust em
