I've put this off long enough, I have an honor bound duty
to tell you how pleased I am with your (my) winch. I've had this piece
of equipment long enough to use it during two elk seasons, and without
it would never have ventured into several productive areas. Most elk hunters
have heard the story "that" elk went down with the first shot, fell into
a hole between downed lodge pole pines, head down, feet up, we had to
quarter it just to field dress it". Well, that's what happened to my daughter,
her first elk. We just hooked onto the two front legs, did a dally around
it's nose, pulled that enormous cow onto a level spot and went to work.
Then with someone cutting a four-foot section out of 120 yards of downed
poles up a 12% grade, that Simpson winch went to work. What is the price
of avoiding a heart attack or physically over doing something during the
stressful time of getting game out of the woods? Well I've tried it and
the Simpson Capstan Rope Winch can't be beat. No cable to try to wind
up on a spool; polyester line works awful nice even in mud and snow. In
order to justify having your winch, I feel obligated to use it for non-hunting
uses. It will pull juniper trees for firewood to my pickup where I'm reluctant
to take a 4x4. One should use good judgment
in the use of this machine, it has the potential to generate a tremendous
pulling power. |
