- I think I saw a winch in the Harbor Freight flyer that came a few days ago, but I have no idea whether it would be suitable for that purpose. You could check their Web site. 73 Alan NV8A On 09/08/05

- I haven't used it yet but we obtained a capstan winch that attaches to our chainsaws. We are going to try it Saturday to raise sections of Rohn 55. I'll let you know how it works after we try it. htt

- While a capstan winch is incredibly handy for tower work, I'm wondering what you're going to attach your aforementioned chainsaw capstan to when using it. It needs to be mounted very securely on some

- It will be attached to the base of a large tree (away from the tower) There will be a pulley at the base of the tower directly below the (heavy duty ginpole)(standard safety proceedure). The capstan

- When kc1xx finished up my rohn 55 180' tower he had a nice electric capstan that bolted on the bottom of the tower. Best way to pull up tower sections I have ever seen, the only thing I didn't care f

- QSL. How will it be attached? What is there on the chainsaw that'll allow that kind of weighted pull without allowing any movement of the chainsaw? You can't use the handle - it's not rated for that
