Excellent video. As the owner of a More Power Puller I was just watching a few youtube videos as a refresher course in case my truck got stuck. I just ordered a couple of days ago some 40 inch long giant tent pegs for using as a picket ground anchor system like you were using so seeing you also demonstrate this and then how to get them out afterwards was an unexpected bonus. For me this is two great videos in one! Lots of detail in everything from modifying cotter pins to leaning the sledge hammer on the first picket. I’ve book marked this to watch again when I need another refresher course. Lots of negative reviewers expecting to see a chainsaw video instead of actually reading the title and comprehending what it means: More Power Puller and Winching techniques. Thank you for posting this.

This was a very instructive video! Even though I am a certified logger I use a primitive version of this technique to "cheat" and force the tree to go exactly where I want it to go. I usually can find a tree to hook a strap to, but this is a very useful technique when one isn't available. I have never used chains before, but now I will probably start doing so. I have been using 3/4" poly rope. My comealong is like this one but it has a metal cable. It even worked to help me "guide" a dead oak tree that was over 100' high and 4'7" wide at breast height. But using the two chains in tandem is a great improvement. I agree with other comments that it APPEARS that your situation may not have needed all this work, but obviously your intent was to teach techniques, and I learned a lot! Thanks for sharing!

+rainmechanic A Highlift jack would pull those out a lot faster, and if this was something you were going to do regularly you could weld 3-5 links of chain onto the end of the bar.

I really like all of your notes and ideas. It is easy to tell that you are an engineer. Want some suggestions? The cotter pin is clever, but an alternative is to shop at a farm/ranch store to see if you can find a hairpin cotter pin that fits. Also, as someone else stated, your truck or the tree that was 10 feet from the last rod would have been faster/simpler anchors. But most of all you were overestimating the tension required to guide that tree in the direction you wanted. It was not a windy day, so the tree was pretty close to being balanced in-place. All it really needed was a connection between the high point on the tree and a fixed object such as your truck or a tree to make sure it did not start to lean in the wrong direction. Any tension at all would have guaranteed movement towards the direction of tension.

I use Wyeth-Scott pullers where I can't get my truck, but also to pay out cable to the included snatch block or one of my others so I can position the snatch block to redirect cable from my truck winch. Then I can pull the tree over most of the way to the ground by gently accelerating the truck and the tree is never not tensioned by the cable until it's close to hitting dirt. BTW some wire rope and rope clamps makes an excellent winch cable extension.

To pull the stakes how about putting the fulcrum(log, tree section, etc) on the bar side; run the bar at an angle take the chain, slowly lower the bar then pull the bar down to raise the stake instead of raising the bar to raise the stake. This arrangement is safer and easier on the back than raising the bar. This is the arrangement used to pull tent stakes for years(the bar is a pole on wheels which can be easily maneuvered into location with a chain hanging on the end to go around the stake. Pull the pole down, lift the stake, raise the pole the chain slides down the stake, repeat as needed). I have done something like this both ways and pulling the bar down is the easier and safer method.

Great question. I've had multiple "come-a-longs" over the years, and I still have one in my garage today. After finding the More Power Puller, I'll never go back to a conventional "come-a-long"! The MPP comes with either a steel rope or synthetic rope, I chose the synthetic rope, and I love it! All else equal, I find that the MPP pulls harder, pays out more rope (fewer rope resets), it doesn't bird nest the rope on the spool, has a much heavier duty frame, very rugged, solid and dependable engagement of the ratchet mechanism (I've come to really trust it), the factory still has replacement parts for the oldest models, & simple long lasting design. I've never used a Tirfor cable puller, and I don't own a powered cable winch.

Re-rig? Just place 1x blocks or thicker as shims atop your fulcrum as the anchor begins to move. As soon as it's loose enough, slide the chain further away from the lever bar's tip to gain distance as you need less force. Actually just sliding the chain in small steps after each pry motion will probably afford plenty of leverage and travel.

Ground anchors need to be 45° from the load, in other words 45 degree angle in the ground
@dwarfinger4 жыл бұрын
I totally agree. If the 45 degree ground stakes are longer, and "daisy chained" with separate lines from the top of one to the bottom of the next, the "pull out force" is distributed along the length of the buried section. Also, having witnessed "lines under tension" breaking, it would be a good idea to put a blanket on the rope, in case it parts. But it is an excellent presentation despite my pickiness!

I haven't read any of the comments so this is likely a duplicates but you would angle the tops of your anchors away from the direction of the pull to maximize their holding power in the ground against the load. Any amount would be helpful but about 30 degrees is pretty good. The angle will also prevent the chain from coming over the top of the anchors weather the loop is over or underhand.
@jimshorts59703 жыл бұрын
I’ve used a similar setup with a come along, chain, and tow rope. I only use one stake though, driven at an angle. This seems like a lot of unnecessary rigging. I only use that system if I can’t get my truck into a position to pull it down, which is MUCH better since you have the ability to jerk or snap the tree quickly AND keep directional tension on it longer by reversing. With the come along method, once it snaps it’s just free falling and has the potential to spin and change direction. Not likely if you make your hinge right but crooked trunks or leaners are sometimes unpredictable.

How do you unload the winch, to perform the reset, without loosing the progress you've made? I hope this helps.

the problem is your line is one a drum and it determines how much length of pulling you can do it is a down fall of the tool you have to take the slack out pull reset 3-4 times. most winch pullers only hold about 15 feet or so, a much better tool is a chain puller, no drum no reseting a much supiour tool for pulling down trees then again a good guy with a chain saw would have been up that tree and had her down without all that other shit

I have a more power with steel cable. It's ok, but my favorite come alongs are the Ingersoll-Rand, Beebe C frame units. I have two that I use all the time . They're lighter and work much better. I've had a tree service for the last 30 years. Sometimes there is nothing to anchor to . I've developed a system of ground anchors for that. Read mountain climbing books and look up what "setting pickets " means to understand how they work.

Curious - what chain are you using?? Manufacturer? Grade?
Great system of pulling especially with the chains and the reset. The only thing I'd like to say is I think putting your fingers and hands inside that puller is not a good idea and also in between the chain when it has a double part on it. I would be careful with my hands and fingers a little more if I were you. Just my opinion great video
