For Sale: Chainsaw Capstan Winch

[novice]

Old but gold.

Very tidy condition for its age. Based on the Homelite XL chainsaw, which I believe was effectively the most popular chainsaw in the US for years, so lots of spares available.

Currently filled with aspen. Runs nicely and not ridiculously heavy like some of these things.

£475 collected from SK8

Do you know what this is capable of pulling weight wise?

Not got direct information to hand, but search on net suggest Single line pull--2000 lbs. Double line pull--4000 lbs. Triple line pull--8000 lbs.

In short, I'd say it's more than capable of use for carcass extraction.

I would imagine it would be similar to a Stihl 08s around 56cc, so a bit of a beast,

Correct. It's the Super XL unit, which is actually 58cc. Genuinely, there's a lot of power in what is quite a handy sized package.

I think it is a super looking bit of kit, good luck with finding it a new home.

Thanks. It's still here, which has surprised me. I thought it was keenly priced against the other options out there. Open to near offers.

I'd rather keep it as a spare than give it away.

Can’t fault you for that. Price was just an offer if it was of interest
