       Lewis Chainsaw Winch

       Thought of you watching this Roger. I recall you coming up with
       ideas to haul them out.
       I like that cone idea.
       Holzfforma g660 and Lewis Chainsaw Winch Skidding Logs in Deep
       Snow
       Holzfforma g660 and Lewis Chainsaw winch skidding logs in deep
       snow is the project at hand on today's episode. With the snow
       falling almost daily around here in Canada, I'm stuck embracing
       it if I ever want to get anything done. With that, I'm putting
       my new Holzfforma g660 chainsaw to the test along with my Lewis
       Chainsaw Winch mk2 to see what I can do about the big pile of
       logs piled up deep in the woods. With some tough trail ahead, I
       get down to it by rigging up the winch along with my new
       Skidding cone made by the Portable Winch company. I've skidded a
       number of logs before in all seasons but it hasn't been until
       recently that I came across this skidding cone. I'm hoping that
       it helps me to ensure that I am able to navigate these logs
       around objects instead of burying them deeper into the snow.
       Watch as my 7hp 92cc Holzfforma (Stihl 660 clone) performs today
       as I test it for the very first time attached to my Lewis
       Chainsaw winch. This chainsaw winch is rate for 7hp and that is
       exactly what this chainsaw is. Let's see if this 92cc chainsaw
       makes a difference compared to my 60cc Husqvarna 555 which I had
       originally had attached to this lewis chainsaw winch. One other
       thing you'll notice today is that I have shorted the cable to
       approximately 90feet from the original 150 feet that you
       would've seen on my other lewis winch videos. I had trouble
       handling the 150 feet of 3/8" cable without it birdsnesting and
       so I decided to cut it down to something more manageable. Check
       out how this reduced length impacts the usability of this winch
       today. Glad you're all here, let's try this thing out!

       Yes I do have a winch set up that I made from a cheapo Harbor
       Freight winch that worked great.    The cone idea has been
       around a long time although I have not used one, but I can
       definitely see the advantage of using one.    I like the shape
       of the one this fellow has.
       Sometimes when up in the mountains there are other stumps in the
       way so a cone would work great for that.
