Works flawlessly as expected. Lots of power to pull treelength or long logs to your log pile. I bought the forestry kit which really is a must to get the full benefit of the machine with minimal effort.

All items received(after mis-ship) were in good order. Honda engine- added 100 ml oil and a bit of gas, primed, started on 5th pull. Seems to run very well as it should it’s a Honda. Subsequently starts on 1 or 2 pulls.1 strap on winch case pulled off promptly was easy to repair by turning 1 nut&bolt around and adding washers. 1 nut on inside case 1 nut outside case now both nuts outside with washers. I built a reel for rope management.

I ordered my pwc3000 a week before hunting season, and after realizing I had made a mistake on the shipping address, i found their support very helpful in fixing my error. The winch arrived in time for the season and after an encouraging quality inspection, was promptly tested by dragging an old 14’ waterlogged fishing boat up the hill to the burn pile. Pleased with its performance, we packed it into the vehicle the night before season started, and after several days we got a deer down that needed to be retrieved from 75’ down a steep and rocky hill. We looped the included strap around the nerf bars and ran a rope on down. Needless to say the pwc3000 handled it with aplomb and we were enroute to home with a field-dressed deer that had only been on the ground about 25 minutes! Superb experience all around, looking forward to many years of service from this fine piece of winching equipment.

We said we would get back to you. We finally got to use our Winch on a 500lb Cow Elk in steep mountains. I would have never taken the shot if I thought we couldn’t get her out. This winch is amazing , with the accessory kit we even loaded the elk into the truck.

I am most happy and pleased with the purchase of my winch. The sale and shipping of the winch were effortless on my end. And in what seemed like no time at all, the winch arrived to our remote island post office. And I am now pulling logs around my acreage… one handed, smiling and giggling every time!

Sometimes we get an Elk in the steep country and have a tough time getting it out. We don’t like waste so we’ll try the PCW 3000 and let you know how we did!

Haul birch logs no problem to the road.

I can't start it. It turns over very (too) easily but doesn't fire at all.I got a hex wrench with it but it doesn't fit any of the bolts.I got a wrench, opened the cover, connected the spark plug wire and it started right up. Still one star off for including a nice looking but useless wrench.

Très bon outil de travail. Amélioration instantanée de la production et ce, de façon très sécuritaire.

This was recommended to me by a friend. He thinks it’s the best thing going. I believe it will work great for me. A suggestion, try shipping with a pint of motor oil. I had a hard time finding the proper oil in my area. Looking forward to working this winch!

Although I have yet to use it for hunting as intended, it works amazing and starts on a dime. Thank you for a great product.

Dommage qu’il soit pas équipé d’un auto bloquage pour garder la tension

Just finished reading the owner’s manual on the Winch and am finishing the manual on the engine.
Planning on using it this weekend to pull wood rounds out of the forest.
I’ll have video afterwards.
Looking forward to it.

The winch and forestry kit are fantastic. So easy to use and a lifesaver for pulling firewood logs out of the woods. And the set of videos are fantastic. Portable Winch is a great company in every regard.

I purchased this winch for a moose hunt with my daughter (all my buddies were on other hunts and we needed muscle) we never needed to use it for the hunt but if we didn’t have it we would have needed it for sure. (Drove ATV right to the moose) Used it for a lot of jobs around the woodlot and to pull a ride in lawnmower up a 150 foot cliff after my father in law flipped it over the hill (he’s ok and fully recovered) it would have cost thousands to get a tow truck to recover it plus damage to the property getting to the river bank. I plan on adding a good selection of accessories for future use. Thanks portable winch for manufacturing such great products.

The winch is great. very happy with the product and with portable winch USA. Very helpful and fast delivery. Thank you

I use the winch for bringing logs out to the tractor, saves having to make trails all over the lot with the tractor and trailer. Pulled 12 ft long, 12 inch diameter ash and maple logs out with no issue through rough, uneven and rocky terrain with only a couple times where I had to go and unsnag something. The forestry kit is quite useful, also contributing to limit the damage to the grounds with that big cone. Lots of stuff to cart around though (cone, winch, rope bag, chain saw, gas, etc....a really full loader bucket!), but well worth it. The winch is not really hard on gas, so you can get away with filling it and leaving the jerrycan behind, unless you are planning a lot of pulling. Really satisfied with the purchase.

Bought this after a bad storm left 2 badly leaning trees over one of my buildings. I live in the forest and had no way to cut them down without damage. Neighbor's said this winch was too small for the job. These were large trees and I had to pull them over to lean the opposite direction before I could cut them down. By double lining I got the nerve wracking job done. Thanks Porta Winch for a great product and I now use it regularly to make many forestry jobs safer.

Excellent tool. Purchased for dragging deer out of hilly areas, but I will use it for much more. Tested it opening weekend of gun season in Kentucky worked perfectly. They could name it deer hunter heart attacked preventer.

Just the right tool for the job. If you're in a space where you can't bring a vehicle mounted winch this is the tool that will do the job, safely, and efficiently. I had to pull several floating docks out of a lake and pull them up onto a steep bank. I placed two 16" 2x10s under the floats and in less than a day the job was complete. I pulled the docks up with hand winches and AC winches powered by a generator previously. There is no comparison.

Wished the description said it came with a strap. I bought an extra strap one to hook to the anchor and one to hook to the object being moved. No worries put the spare in the truck for a tow strap. The winch works well and light enough to carry into the woods.

I bought this for retrieving moose for clients. This seemed to struggle and died out pulling a 900lb animal. Guess I expected more. Additionally the plastic part that holds the throttle cable broke, but that may have been my fault for the way it was transported in a tote.

Fonctionne très bien, robuste

What a cool concept. I was lucky enough to draw a wild bison tag so I purchased this after seeing people extract moose with them. I’ve already skidded some logs around for firewood and can’t be happier. Very portable and easy to operate. Price is a bit steep but this is a once in a lifetime tag. Hopefully it will be moving bison meat soon.

Used it to pull two cow Elk 300 feet at a time, and never got above half throttle. I lifted the Elk (using a tree) above the bed of my truck, I never got above quarter throttle. Power to spare! This is a game changer on where I'm now willing to hunt! Rope diameter does matter.
