Chainsaw Mill Winch Kit for Chain Saw Milling - Efficient Chainsaw Accessories with Lever Arm, Perfectly Balances The Saw Mill, Easier and Smoother (Winch Kit + 4 Tree Felling Wedges)

Takes a lot of stress off the arms and back!

The HOTYELL brand chainsaw mill winch kit for chain saw milling is a worthy addition for existing users of chainsaw powered milling equipment. This is not a device for winching logs, rather for achieving steady and consistent movement of existing chainsaw milling equipment by winching the cutting saw while it moves down the length of the chainsaw mill. The winch device is essentially 3 pieces that collectively weigh about 6 pounds: a winch mechanism including rope storage spindle, a regulating ball, and an adjustable anchor arm. The winch kit also includes two fluorescent orange tree felling wedges and a small level. Everything is designed to work with the majority of chainsaw sawmills currently in the marketplace. The overall purpose of this device is to move a chainsaw powered sawmill more smoothly and without pauses or jerkiness. This device also frees one hand that can be used for other purposes while all the machinery is in use. Using this device should result in more smoothly finished timber slabs and milled products. Here at the tree farm home base, a contractor hired to make and install a cedar log based property sign absconded with the 10 foot long, 16 inch wide cedar logs that had been rip cut in half specifically for the job. A picture of the sign display with the freshly cut logs is from 2023 is attached. We have been waiting for the return of the logs as either fully finished sign displays, or at least returned in their original shape for the past year without success. A recent picture of the sad state of the sign display with the missing logs is attached. All we need is a single cut 10 foot log half sawn to replace the missing and we can try and finally complete the sign with lettering. We are blessed with many century old cedars on the property, and look forward to purchasing a chainsaw sawmill with the forthcoming Amazon Black Friday specials, attaching the present item under review, and finally completing the required set up for a project that is now more than one year overdue. We are counting on this winch kit to support and enhance our chances of success with this endeavour. The verdict: The HOTYELL brand chainsaw mill winch kit for chain saw milling is a worthy addition for existing users of chainsaw powered milling equipment. An overall product score of 55 is assigned accordingly.

I picked up this chainsaw mill winch kit to make milling logs a little less exhausting, and I could tell right away it was going to save me a lot of effort. I have used a basic chainsaw mill setup before, and constantly pushing through long cuts gets tiring fast, especially on larger hardwood logs. This kit made the feed feel much smoother and more controlled. I liked being able to keep a steady pace without fighting the saw the whole time. The lever arm setup helped balance everything better than I expected. I noticed I was getting more even cuts because I was not jerking or forcing the mill forward. I also felt like I had better control during the entire pass, which made the process less stressful and honestly safer feeling too. The winch itself operated smoothly and did not feel cheap or flimsy while under tension. I was also glad the tree felling wedges were included. I ended up using them the same day for keeping the cut open while working through a larger log. Small addition, but genuinely useful. This setup definitely feels like one of those accessories that should have come with my mill from the beginning. My back appreciated the upgrade too.

Don't bother buying the saw mill without it and a 70cc 372xp saws the minimum and even thats underpowered by time u buy a good saw the mill and chains you could've paid for atleast have the price of a bam saw mill

I wasn’t sure how much of a difference a winch kit would really make, but wow this one completely changed everything for me. I attached it to my chainsaw mill setup and instantly noticed how much smoother everything felt. The lever arm makes it way easier to manage the cut, and I feel like I’m getting cleaner, straighter slabs without wearing myself out. The included tree felling wedges were a nice bonus, solid quality and super useful when working with bigger logs. Honestly, it just makes the whole milling process a lot more manageable, especially if you're working solo. If you’re doing any chainsaw milling, this kit is absolutely worth adding to your gear. It’s one of those accessories that makes you wonder why you didn’t get it sooner.
