capstan winch cheap version

[jthyttin]

another option is a bloody long rope and a pulley to change the direction of pull, then use your vehicle to pull the deer

In Estonia we use this, even if capstan was used for initial drag. Mainly for driven hunts.

When rope reaches road, attach pulley to one truck and use another one to pull along the road. Couple of guys walk with the beast and alert the driver with hunting radio if something is going to get stuck.

In some places you might benefit from ground anchor, especially if working alone.

I'm guessing with the reluctance to pay for one you don't get the money for the deer shot. If you don't ask the person that is getting the money to get one as it will more than return their money very quickly.

I get the money but I try not to sell many I usually butcher and give to landowners etc as I don't have a cold room to store them for the game dealer

And I did look up the capstan on forest and arb and they out of stock

BB610 has a different shaped gearbox to the other capstan winches I've seen - looks like a reduction box based on two wheels rather than the stronger worm and wheel set which should take more torque. Apologies if I've got this wrong, it's just what it looks like to me.

I can do this in some of my forest rides, but by myself, by wrapping the rope around the towball. Any corners in the ride can be managed by routing the rope around an appropriate tree - you pull to the tree then walk back and reset the rope for the next pull.

Get an open face corner block with an automatic release. No need to get off the quad!

Cheap version is a cable reel with ratcheting crank and 200m of cable.

Super cheap version is a metal hose reel with old climbing rope and a strong bar/poles to achor it into the ground and jam one between the handle and reel body when you need a breather!

Look up line hauler on goggle , there are a few options priced from £500 to£750 which will pull up to 200lbs @ 150 ft per min and they are silent.

A remote control Captok CK750 might do the trick, it is a rope pull start, I have seen one with a snow plough fitted onto the front. Use it to drag the deer perhaps of course you would have to guide it from the truck to the fallen deer first then do the trip back.

Chinese crap that you cannot get specs for. But I suspect you'd need to heavily modify it to get weight and thus traction on the tracks. And then the center of gravity would be quite high, [part of] carcass on top of the device.

Search internet for "järnhäst", I think it's somewhat widespread in Sweden to use those for moose carcasses. But the size and weight is right there with quads.

 

[finnbear270]

That is the way to do it Pat.

I feel like a tablespoon of Hyoscine after that.

If you had 100yds of rope plus a block and tackle with 10yds of pull it would be slow and you'd have to set it up repeatedly but it would work. Probably no more than £40 to set up.

Did that pulling a Landy out of a super bog. The B+T worked but as they are engineered to be used in the vertical position the horizontal kept jamming the chain...that was a long arvo.

another option is a bloody long rope and a pulley to change the direction of pull, then use your vehicle to pull the deer.

I have employed that method many many times, its amazing how one`s hilux can pull any sized deer through 4m high blackberry bushes and six foot fern, or over logs etc

I feel like a tablespoon of Hyoscine after that.

I thought the operator was having an epileptic fit.

On The Back of my Stalking vehicle an old Jimny. We have an old stainless water hose reel I think its 14 inches wide on it there is 400 meters of rope used to be the blue drain rope but upgraded to 10mm double braided(not climbing rope to expensive) That gets us a long way down rides that we can't drive down. We have used a series of pulleys and tree savers to drag out of trees one man walking with radio the other driving. after that its get the petrol winch out or don't squeeze the trigger
