PERATING THE PTIONAL

Winch Capacity

The intended use of the winch is to assist the operator in pulling large tree limbs or
trunks to the brush chipper feed rollers without having to lift and carry. The winch can
handle material up to 12" (30 cm) in diameter.
The line assembly includes a 150 ft (46 m), 7/16" line double-braided Spectra® core
with a polyester jacket (1) and a separate chain choker (2). The recommended drum
storage capacity is 150 ft (46 m). This conforms to SAE J706 using a wireline
compensation factor, K = 0.8.

Line Pull and Speed

The line pull and speed of the winch vary based on the number of line layers on the drum, where one layer
equals one row of wraps covering the drum surface. The chart shows rated line pull and line speed, established
in accordance with SAE J706.
