A hazard is that you are necessarily standing in the line of whiplash should that steel cable part under tension. Use a blanket over the cable as well as hard hat with face shield . Also use a snatch block to double the power. I have the Warn version of that winch, very useful for unique tasks such as loading a heavy mower up ramps into a pickup.

I'm glad I happened upon this video. What great PR they did by sending you a new on over night. I am very impressed with the power of that lil guy. Thanks for sharing.

Great little winch..So next tree you want to pull,be sure and leave 8-10 ft..You get way more leverage.My pops was a logger and all around can do type of guy..Made it work..Thanks!

Pulling stumps it's easy if you use an aframe 2x4's or 4x4 or steel a frame to make the pull up as close to straight up as possible.... comes out way way easier

You should use the tire trick. It involves more vertical force than lateral force and works far better.

Thanks for the video! I just ordered one for winching everything.

Wow is right I’m impressed.

Very impressive small winch 😮.

Thats powerful for a little winch . impressive 👍

🎉🎉🎉that little thing has some power!!

Well made video, im going to check out this winch.

I was expecting a larger stump. Next time cut the tree higher....like 2 to 5 feet up for more leverage. I have a stump pulling project of a tree that was close to 60 feet tall. I cut down to where the trunk merged to two smaller trunks about 10 ft high. So far some of the roots are partially crumbly. I am using a come-a-long. I have dug down about a foot to expose some roots that are 8 to 12 inches diameter. I also have soaked the root trench to soften the soil. Patience and persistence. I will plant a new sapling in the remaining hole. GOD JOB.

It looks exactly like the Berger & Schröter or Berger-Schroeter winch product number: 31717. I thought they designed it, but apparently it is a Chinese winch sold under various brands.

Wow! That's a powerful little winch. I've pulled stumps like that with a come-a-long, a shovel, a steel bar and a battery operated reciprocating saw. I needed all four tools. Kind scary though as it looked like your head was in line with the winch cable.

Next time, if you keep the stump taller you’ll have a far easier time pulling it out. Mechanical advantage.

WOW that's impressive...

That was amazing!

First issue is you need to pull out as much cable as you can. You need to be using the first layer of cable on the drum. That gives you the highest rating. Each wrap over that the winch looses power. You can also use a single pulley and double the power. And for that price of what you got you could have got a 12v one with a 3500lb pulling power.

Put a tire under the cable near the stump so it pulls the stump upward

good way to loose an eye. cable inline view and light weight cable.

As well as having your pull as high as you can, your anchor point should be as low as possible. Winches work stronger with less cable on the drum, just a handfull of turns left is best. One thing I see many people doing is hooking the cable back onto itself, this is an excellent way to ruin a winch cable. For stump pulling I put an old wheel next to the stump and run the pull over it, this creates lift and can defeat the most stubborn trees.

Wow, this is so impressive!!!! There's a guy on yt who pulls stumps with intricate pulleys, seems sound and intellect beyond my own (not sarcasm) but his tree huggers kept slipping out. Having metal, I was fearing for your life! He eventually cut a hook with a chainsaw into the stump a third of the way. The tree huggers are far safer but wow the metal wire really works better. We can't argue with results! I'd imagine your winch broke/overheated due to overuse. Try doing little by little because the stump will still keep breaking as it reaches equilibrium. As the steel heats from the speed, the wire becomes soft and breaks as would the winch itself. May I suggest a backup tether for if the cable fails your direction? That's the climber in me talking. Thanks for sharing!

Snatch block to double your power. If you keep adding pulleys, you'll keep multiplying your power.

Replace that old fashioned wire cable with 1/4” dyneema winch rope. Much safer!

Wow I would think that drill would burn out doing that, could you use an impact gun instead?

Next time put a tire under the cable as close to the stump as possible to change the angle to and upwards pull. Trust me.

hello,very nice tool you got there.Can this little winch power UNWIND as well?

The stump you pulled would come very easy if you pulled upwards with a redirect as i said in my other post use an a frame ... or use a tire or wheel to redirect

That sure did surprise me! How many roots did you cut before you hooked up the winch?

KZfaq can be your friend, research before using anything with potential danger involved. You have a KZfaq channel, how about visiting other channels thru search option.

Great little winch. By the way, what is the bright pink tree/bush in the background?

Good information, although you can cut out the first 4.5 minutes. 😁

Use a snatch block. Zero issues like you just did

I'm going to google it's whereabouts..... Thanx 😀

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽

You didn't have your sandbag or since up higher a heavy blanket, should it have broke again.

Totemo ii desu ne ..

Scary as if it t snapped that cable would cut you bad, better thanks God your alive and think smarter with common sense.
