To ease the pulling of a log (or other load) we suggest you use a single pulley (PCA-1274). Installed as high as possible in a tree near the winch, it helps lifting the front of the log to prevent friction and can also be used to deviate the load when needed. Light, this pulley will easily be carried around and will give you more pulling opportunities.

Since the winch gives 2500 lb (1136 kg) of pulling power in single line, you can double its capacity using two single pulleys (PCA-1274). You will then get 5000 lb (2272 kg) of pulling power. If the first one is installed as high as possible in a tree near the winch, it will help prevent friction. The second one will be attached to the load. Very practical, these two pulleys will get you out of trouble.

Since the winch gives 2500 lb (1136 kg) of pulling power in single line, you can triple its capacity using one single pulley (PCA-1274) and one double pulley (PCA-1273). You will then get 7500 lb (3408 kg) of pulling power. The double pulley will be attached as high as possible in a tree near the winch (which will help prevent friction). The single pulley will be attached to the load. Most people opt for this pulley combination since they allow a lot of different applications while offering a lot of power.

Since the winch gives 2500 lb (1136 kg) of pulling power in single line, you can quadruple its capacity using two double pulleys (PCA-1273). You will then get 10 000 lb (4544 kg) of pulling power. The first double pulley will be attached as high as possible in a tree near the winch (which will help prevent friction). The second one will be attached to the load. With these two double pulleys, you will be able to move very heavy loads. There are almost no limits to what the winch can do.

This formula is used to calculate the applied force to a load when attaching a pulley to it while using an angle. You will see the difference in power for a 15 degrees angle versus a 90 degrees. You will then be able to figure which angle to give to your rope according to the load weight.
