Very nice... I'm sure your going to like it over dragging logs in the dirt.
-I have added a chain grab, for lack of a better word, to the front of this arch replacing a ratchet strap that came with it. (Actually a guy from Allegan, MI on A.S. posted one he cut on a CNC machine for his arch build, and he made me one) The strap was hard to use, to hook and release under pressure from the cable around the log. On this arch the cable pulley is in front of the hook or cable bell. When cabling up, the log wants to twist. When used in single line fashion, choking the log, there is much less twist but the effort to hand crank to raise the log is twice as much. The chain grab is simple, quick, easy to use one handed.
-Also, a photo of grab handles on the rear of the arch to lift, or place it over a log. If you add handles, keep them about where your hands normally hang height wise. These are too low, which means lifting with a bent back.
-The hand winch has a friction brake that I now use religiously after dam near breaking both wrists with a spinning handle. I was in the woods with a quad, saw, arch...and could not use my hands. I just remember sitting, and them being numb for what seemed a very long time, all the while thinking they're both broke, and I'm screwed. I guess I have to just leave everything and walk to the road. Luckily I did not break anything.
-a place to carry a cant hook is good too.
