For those of you who are not familiar with the amazing Lewis Winch, it is a portable winch powered by a chainsaw that can pull up to 4,000 pounds in a straight line and 8,000 pounds using a Lewis Winch Snatch Block.
I want to share with you today what we are planning to do next with the Lewis Winch.
One of our neighbours has a large but unwanted wild bush growing in front of her house that completely blocks her view. Each time she cuts it down, the bush quickly grows back.
A friend of hers tried pulling this big bush out of the ground with his off road atv, but failed miserably when all four wheels just spinned in the soft dirt so much that he couldn't even budge the bush.
He also tried pulling out the bush using electric winches such as the one mounted on the front of his off road atv, but all that did was power down the battery. Again, the bush wouldn't budge.
That's when our neighbour came to ask me for help. She knows I am the president of Lewis Winch Inc. and she figured I might be able to help her get rid of this pesky bush using our portable winch.
I know that landscapers use the Lewis Winch for these jobs all the time, but I haven't attempted it myself. So this upcoming weekend, we plan to attempt to do what others have failed to accomplish: pulling this bush out of the ground by the roots using our gas-powered portable winch.
I will post the results of our bush-pulling experiment after we perform the task, whether successful or not - but if you have had similar experiences, I welcome your stories and comments.
