Honda portable winch for hauling logs

[LeFranck]

I found today a very interesting portable winch powered by a 50ccm Honda petrol engine.
In my eyes a terrific winch for off-road driving and hauling logs on the trailer.
With a single pulley, you can triple the pulling power of the winch to 7500 lb (3400 kg). They say that with two double pulleys, an amazing 10000 lb (4535 kg) of force can be exerted on a load!
The winch is using double braided polyester ropes. I guess rope has both pro and cons. The strongest rope they have is 9.5mm and has a breakpoint at 8100 lb (3674 kg). It means that 10000 lb pulling force is out of reach for the rope.

The price trough Amazon.com is 1400 USD: http://www.amazon.com/Portable-Winch-Gas-Powered-Capstan-Capacity/dp/B004HL21RS%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAIWHPAUD5JDK3RIYA%26tag%3Donsales99-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB004HL21RS

I'm interested buying one for the sawmill in Bondo.

Do anyone here have any experience with this winch?

Thanks Steve for this tip.

I liked indeed the chain saw winch with a higher capacity than the Honda portable rope winch.
The Lewis winch cost 899 USD without the chainsaw.

Logrite has a winch as well.  www.logrite.com  I am a distributor, here on the Left Coast, but can sell anywhere in the world, Frank.
