I have a Tuf-Tug Model # TT6000-6C has 6000 pounds of pull.

 

I've got a JET JCP-4 / 180440 4 Ton come along that I keep in my trailer box along with some oblong ring slings, ratchet straps and tire changing equipment. Purchased about a year ago when I bought my new enclosed trailer. ~$80 if I recall.

Jet JCP-4

Was going to install a winch but it was a significant expense and then there's the battery maintenance. I've used it a few times to assist with loading some heavy skids along with my pallet jack. Mostly to get the loaded pallet jack up the ramp when I don't have any help around. It's slow but gets the job done.

I was going to buy a Lug-all but they're around $300. Nicely made in the USA (PA) but for the amount of use it gets the JET is fine.

Lug-all cable hoist

 

I much prefer the chain style vs the cable style.

This Strongway Manual Lever Chain Hoist is an industrial-quality hoist with a classic round-style and a heat-trea...

The only issue I see with those is they weigh 3-times that of the cable type.

 

not sure what it is rated, but I found one that fell off a Power Company truck, it has a nylon strap instead of a cable, best one I ever had... the stamped steel ones all feel kind of cheap to me, but seem to work okay..

 

John, are you interested in pulling or overhead hoisting? Some are designed for both applications. The less expensive units are intended for pulling only.

 

My uses would be primarily for pulling something horizontally.

 

Lug -all Brand, I have 1.5 T , 3T & 6T that I’ve had for almost 40 years that have been used heavily , and been flawless. Nice light weight aluminum bodies , just a quality tool .
Good luck with your selection!

 

On one of those Alaska shows I saw one that uses Rope.

Rope just feeds through vs wrapping on a spool.

Got lots of chain ones...Heavy
Several cable types....spool will collapse on china versions...cable frays and developes memory...pigtails.
These rope ones I've not yet seen in a store....depending on your use of course...might be an option.

Hmm... I spell it the first way, say it the second way, and would rather just use a winch!

I guess kinda like a brush hog or a bush hog. I again say bush hog. But I’m a red neck from northeastern Oklahoma so ya know.

Same, most us red necks say bush hog down here too, because the durn thing says exactly that right on the side of it!

I have one of these:

4000 lb. Cable Winch Puller

Amazing deals on this 4000Lb Cable Winch Puller at Harbor Freight. Quality tools & low prices.

www.harborfreight.com

I used it to move heavy pieces of tree trunk around before I got my tractor.

Best,

 

Note that if you need one in a pinch and don't have one, a ratchet strap will do the job.

 

Yep, and it's always good to have a couple of snatch blocks handy with a "tree saver" strap or two if you need more leverage.

Best,

 

Like they said - for occasional use - Harbor freight / Home Depot / Amazon is ok.

I have a Lug All. It's been great, came with extra pulley, when used the extra pulley loop doubles the pull.

Wyeth-Scott and Lug All are a bit nicer, USA made, and you can get replacement parts when needed. You can get synthetic rope if you like, it's lighter.

I had 4 on my bucket truck they were made by Chance if I remember right, one fell off my truck and followed me home. It's in the pole barn like I said I believe it's made by Chance.

 

Dang shame when stuff falls off a truck. Glad you were able to save it from just rusting out on the side of the road. . .

 

I've worn out a few from Harbor Freight

 

Doc, you got yer lawnmower on furniture dolly’s.
Why is that?

so you can scoot it around with a chain hoist……. ~grin

Easy cleaning of shop. (which it kinda needs)

And I still do a doubletake when I see your screen name!

 

I've used the Wyeth Scott for many years with the cable. Never seen one with the rope but it's gotta be better than the cable. The cable takes a set and develops burrs requiring leather gloves to handle it.

As far as I'm concerned, they're all junk. Necessary, but light built junk nonetheless. I have several with frayed cables you can have.

 

I've had one of these for about 20 years.... Can't break it.

Dang, those are some serious pullers.
I can see myself indulging in one of those USA made heirlooms 🤣

 

Oh you guys - STOP!! Warning to new members: This place is going to cost you a fortune. Forget tractors and attachments, just all the other goodies.

I want one of each.

 

it already has so far--ha! as soon as someone shows something new that i don't have-i-yi-yi

 

I think I have the morepower puller. But I’m not sure which brand it is, other than its red and made out of cast iron. It’s rated for 3ton. I have had since a broke a cheap one trying to pull out a stuck truck 30 years ago. I have used it to pull myself out many times over the years. I won’t go on the forest roads without it and 100’ of chain or straps. It’s all most always in my truck a long with a chain saw.

 

If you spend any time at all on the dirt forest roads in northern Wisconsin and the UP , you really should have some type of come a long, or winch and a saw in your vehicle.

Winch for the win!

I really abused the crap out of my Badlands winch on my last truck. Got it at Harbor Freight for like $350 I think. 12,000 lbs rated and I completely ignored the duty cycle on it but it never overheated on me once.

What killed it finally was going underwater too many times lol. I had that truck in water deep enough that it was coming in around the doors. Truck would start floating so open up a door and let the water in to weigh it back down. No problems besides having to frequently service the locking hubs and rear axle lube... and the winch died because water finally got into the solenoid box and shorted something out. The "in" and "out" contactors closed together and fried the motor.

 

I've used one of these Lug-All for decades. Rarely use the snatch block, mostly just single cable, pulling vehicles up on the car hauler. This is about the perfect size for most things I need it for. 30 foot long 1500# in single cable or 15' long and 3000# using the snatch block. Not even comparable to one of those cheap stamped come-alongs.

As I get older it began to require more breaks to get a dead car winched on, sprang for a 12k winch a couple years ago so the lug all spends a bit more time hanging on the wall, still super handy at times.
