Hello all,

I am looking for some guidance on winches. looking for something with 2000 lb. pulling capacity that can help with clearing dead-fall and transporting large logs among other things. A friend of mine told me about Portable Winch | Winch parts | westcoastwinch.com which i have seen on this website before and this thing seems sweet. Gas powered, portable and light weight, and they seem to be priced right.

Has anyone used one of these? has anyone used any chainsaw winches? I know that the Lewis brand is quite popular. How do these 2 products compare?

I just asked a similar question on this a couple of weeks ago. Here is the Thread. In short, I did buy one from the WestCoast Winch site, and I am very happy with it so far. I've heard from both replies to my thread and looking at reviews online that the Portable Winch is more reliable than the Lewis.

Hope that helps!
