TR Industrial TR Industrial Portable 4-Ton Dual Gear Power Puller

work as expected, well built!

Herramienta super práctica, funciona de manera muy eficiente y se transporta fácilmente en su estuche.

I've been using a big box store 1 ton come-along to pull dead trees out by the roots for firewood all winter. I realize that I've been abusing the hell out of it but I do it anyway. I ordered this 4 ton unit in hopes that it would not give me as much grief, and so far it is working great. I never use the extra pulley to double the pulling capacity. That is too slow and the cable travel is too short, so I'm really only using it as a 2 ton puller.The dual pawls on this puller don't just "click" when cranking up the tension, they "clunk". That sounds very reassuring. There are no flimsy sides to the cable spool-- the pawls themselves form the sides of the spool and they are thick enough to not warp, jam and complain like my old piece of crap. I pulled a big dead poplar down today that I would never have budged with the disappointment that I used to use. There was no horrible screeching sound from a warped spool scraping the sides of the frame, just a nonchalant, rhythmic clunking as the poplar groaned in agony, hollering out to its neighbours for help. No help came though. A few loud pops later and the big old-timer broke free of its roots and crashed to the ground. Yeah, I've been drinking.

I used this item for the first time today to pull out my tractor, which weighs about 2,200 lbs. It worked well, although the cable length was pretty short.

Bought this for moving problem trees and when stuck off road. Have not had a reason to use it yet but just looking at it, appears much better built than those that I have purchased in the past for only slightly less at box stores. Case keeps it organized under the seat of the truck awaiting use.
