Intersting way to pull wire

[@1986BBG]

Everyone here saying how good this is, no way to tell how much torque your putting on the cables. Do it right, this is bot the correct tool for the job.

[@gunneredwards6609]

Shut up

[@joshballesteros22]

Outstanding! Work smarter not harder!

[@elioselectric468]

Removed the steel cable from a 12volt electric winch. Used it like a capstan. Pulled 300 kcmil aluminum in parallel through a 4 inch pvc conduit 230'. Worked flawlessly..

[@Dont370]

Do u think it can handle 500 mcm?

[@TheBlueScarecrow]

I've found my wire pull buddy!!! Very clever! 5 Stars.

[@challenge792000]

Same principle as a tugger. Dig your trench, bury your conduit, pull the wire in when your done.

[@andone555]

Nice, you made your own capstan, just with a horizonal axis instead.

[@jamesanderegg8451]

done it before, works surprisingly well

[@bprovenzanno4825]

dam that's a long run..lol

[@arthas640]

I got a new mini not too long ago and I've been doing alot of site work, I'm gonna have to give this a try

[@blakeehmke007]

How did you initially wrap the wire around the track over top and under back to the top?

[@markavery2888]

The lift that side up with the bucket.

[@mariocastaneda4798]

awsome! i always have to inprovise, what about cutting the pvc with that poly rope?

[@jacstrom2]

It was ridged sweeping 90s

somebody deserves a raise..

[@jamesk3576]

nice bologna cut on that 4"

[@johngrafton6868]

Where's the junction box?

[@JeffAPierson]

Seen similar but this is better. Works well with big cable and confined space.

[@gurpo650]

Genius

[@christineotamschoenhofen9010]

Was the cable the same diameter when it came out as when it came in? No dynamometer on this pull means that no one knows if the conductor tension was respected and if the cable will perform to manufacturer's specs. Creative but potentially dangerous for the cable.

[@jacstrom2]

Christine Otam it was a 250ft pull and that's the line for the transformer

[@Houey]

Looks lile its pulling pretty smooth. Thats big cable it can handle that.

[@mountainliving8208]

I have a KZbin channel I'm building my house in the smokey mountains I buried my conduit and I was wondering how to pull it because it's a 150' I was going to use the winch on my truck but now I think I'm going to Jack my tractor up and hook it to the back tire and do it the same way I love that ideal much much thanks I looked you this is your only video please do more

[@flashfire3220]

Could you imagine how long you would last if done using your leg muscles. It would be a great work out.

[@TempoDrift1480]

Get-er-did!

[@richardvera9385]

Is that single mode fiber optic cable?

[@dewey7218]

I may be wrong but that looks like 260 mil jacketed primary voltage 3-phase cable. Looks like the conduit is set up for a 3phase padmount transformer with a loop feed. Used this method multiple times.

[@charlesfelix9955]

Fkn Krafty!

[@johnhunter273]

Third most expensive way to pull wire

[@jacstrom2]

Not if it's already there

[@Houey]

The fuel used to do that probably cut the time from hours to minutes of hight paid labor. If rather fill that up a full tank than pay 5 guys to do that in a full day. Work smarter not harder.

[@Nrout2]

Thats how you do it!

[@pgood7266]

We use this meathod all the time for 1000+ ft pulls

[@Dont370]

How do you get that side of the tractor to just be in the air?

[@pgood7266]

@@Dont370 it’s an excavator, you use the bucket to lift up one side

[@Dont370]

@@pgood7266 thanks. I have a 150 ft pull of 500 mcm aluminum. I'm going to give it a try and see if it works

[@pgood7266]

@@Dont370 make sure you use a bunch of wire lube

[@oldnstillworkin5709]

That’s works!

[@chrisf9607]

i lerned something new thanks

[@jasonpalmere695]

great idea

[@kylegonsalves6066]

That buned a groove in the sweep. No possible way it didn't expecially with that synthetic rope

[@jacstrom2]

Kyle Gonsalves ridged sweeps

[@kylegonsalves6066]

jacstrom2 ....OMG i forgot about those... you're right my man. Sorry to make assumptions

[@jacstrom2]

Yup don't ever use pvc sweeps anymore lol

[@kylegonsalves6066]

jacstrom2 where im at we have to. The rigid sweeps rot out and rust due to the salt in the ground. Just part of living on an island i guess

[@Dont370]

@@jacstrom2 it probably won't burn a 5ft 90 either

[@popo_53]

Brilliant

[@tbirdflash]

Wow, just like a tugger! Oh, never heard of a tugger? How 'bout a winch? How 'bout a duelly on the truck? If you know what you're doing you can go a lot faster, but it's funnier to work with dummies and watch ropes break.

[@assho8649]

something ain't right about this I mean it's just a hunch. conduit fill comes into question as well .. I'm just saying.

[@jacstrom2]

Hey that's the power company's wire...
