I have the GRCS and love it. When it comes to lifting, I have loaded the device with pulling and with alot of force the rope when cranking the handle with stay in the same place meaning the rope has reached it's capacity in the winch. I have had one guy pulling on the rope which comes out the pigstail and one cranking at the same time and you get alot of force this way. I was using a 1/2 inch line. Works fantastic for branches over obstacles. I just love the pretension that it allows me to create. followed by a rip cut, also rope position on the branch and up in the tree will greatly affect the outcome. Haven't used the bollard yet, I just use the winch for everything. Remember to add it to your insurance. Congrats on the purchase. You won't be disappointed!!
