Don’t Wait! At first I wasn’t so sure the winch was something that I needed or had to have. Based off my experience with a sharp chain and a big enough power head it takes minimal effort to slab out a log. Well I decided to pull the trigger on the winch and give it a go, first time using it, it was a game changer. 0 effort, smoother cuts, and allows me to use the same chain longer due to the fact that I’m not pushing through a dull chain using all my energy. Save that for moving slabs! Pick it up you’ll be happy you did. Rated 5 out of 5

If you are skeptical about the new wench, if it is worth the $100 price? The answer is absolutely yes. I milled 5 slabs off a FL Pecan, 2.5”x35”x111”. This hard wood took ruffley 9-11mins each cut, with my 395XP. I was pretty gassed after each! I purchased the wench and used it for the last two slabs. I was shocked at the difference. The mechanical advantage is incredible! You literally only have to hold the throttle, and turn the wench handle! No pushing. You can easily turn the power head out, or around and unstraight edges, by holding the power head back slightly, and allow the wench to pull the bar tip further forward. Which allows the guide plates at the power head, to turn out, and around the edge. I’m mad I waited this long to purchase it. You can get the wench for the money, or save it for your doctors co-pay, when you hurt your back! Just sayin! Well worth it! Great product! Thank you Grandberg! Cut Big! Rated 5 out of 5

Don’t mill anything without this. Last year I spent two weeks milling a few big trees, and my arms and shoulders were sorer than doing 1000 squats followed by 1000 lunges. Today I milled up a 34″ diameter x 10ft maple log, and I’m ready to work again tomorrow. Great product. The updates and revisions are well executed. Rated 5 out of 5
