We got a tree stump in the front , its diameter is about a bit greater than 4 feet , it had bothered us for quite some time , we’ve tried chainsaw on it but nothing can go through it, lately we got a 4 ton cable puller , hooked onto a pickup and dragged the stump out without major effort!
Cable pullers are nice multi purpose and tough pulling hand tools that all work shop should keep a few in their tool boxes . The rated capacity of cable puller usually comes in from 1 ton to 4 ton(2200lbs to 8800lbs), the reach of the pullers is usually 6 feet to 12 feet, the higher the capacity, the shorter the reach, 1 ton puller can have 12′ reach while 4 ton puller will only have 6′ reach, but some extra heavy duty 4 ton ones can have 11′ or more. People sometimes call these cable pullers “Come Along”, but come along refers to a lot of different hand tools besides cable pullers, such as chain hoists , chain puller , towing blocks , and more, in a word, a come along is a hand operated ratchet lever winch. Typically hand winch is used to pull boat out of water on the boat trailer or lower the boat into water, hence the name ‘boat trailer winch”, and hand winch has to be fixed onto something before use while you can just hook cable puller onto something immobile , such as a tree. There is one kind of blocks which are for towing, they usually have the name snatch block,
For stretching, pulling, lifting and lowering, cable pullers are the best choice. To pull vehicles onto the trailer or release the vehicle off the trailer, hold or pull trees when you’re logging, pull big rack or shed around your house, pull the stuck trees out of somewhere , compare to electric powered winch, such as ATV winch , cable pullers are cheaper handy tools. Now we need to get the cable puller, the way to do it is to get it online, just type in a few keywords you will get what you’re looking for. To get a nice deal you need to make informed decision, you should refer to online forum for advise on the very product you’re going to buy.
When you have choices, you should use hand puller instead of electric one, hand puller is totally clean when you use it, no waste, no emission, no nothing, and there is less waste when it’s being made.
