Hi,
I've got a few 50-70' tall trees I felled 3 years ago before injuring myself (unrelated). They had to fall down a hill into the woods away from the house (15-20° slope). I want to cut/drag/clean this mess up, but my come-along will take forever. Some are cut into 15-20" diam x 16" tall blocks so they aren't that heavy, but some others are likely up to 200-400lbs. Can cut if needed.
What's an appropriate winch (or winch type) to drag these up my hill about 50-70'? If possible, something that can connect to a 120v outlet would be best. Otherwise, I'll also need to get a generator. I don't know if the 120v stuff I'm looking at that's around $200-300 is overkill, likely to break after 3 pulls, or perfect for my needs.
Thanks for any help or suggestions. Maybe I'm missing some simple obvious solution.
