My new GRCS arrived at my doorstep last week, I want to thank JPS for hooking me up with it, thanks.
After using it for the first time, I was kicking myself for not buying one the day they became available. I like the fact you can pre-tension the line before the cut and make one straight cut through the piece.
Our Friday job was to remove six Red alders overhanging our customers neighbors house/fence. The trees were on top of a slope leading down to a landscaped area. We set a block in a nearby Doug-fir and started with the largest alder (24" DBH, 50-60' tall). The Winch allowed us to tip tie and lift the pieces without removing any limbs, and had the tree done with only three cuts. I set the line in the other alders from the ground with a throwline and cut them in one piece.
The device has already saved us a couple hours. I'm very impressed. Thanks again John.
The attached picture is of two Doug-fir removals we did the first day we used the winch. The line was pre-tensioned so the piece is just popping off. A tagline is attached to pull the pieces over the landscaped area below.
