"This tool is awsome!, but, my chainsaw is on the small side(50cc) a bigger one is really what is needed to make it even better,, Huh? better than awsome?, ok let me explain..
My chainsaw is a Stihl ms260, a fine saw really,, I chose to directly connect the saw to the winch, as recomended by the operators manual for the winch, and also just a better way from my understanding of the mechanical aspect of any power machine, so anyway, the adapter kit does not include the piece that my saw required, so the one that I used was not a proper fit, consequently, it failed.
So i ordered the correct adapter and also replacements for the other parts that were damaged, soon I will be back in business! and all of the other small trees, logs, cars,and stumps will be dragged, pulled, or towed as it applies to each... I strongly recomend that anyone using this tool to get some pulleys to double or triple, the Lewis Winch pulling power, less work for the sawmotor, and truly a dramatic difference, VERY COOL!, Northern Tool has the very best price in cyberspace, and some good pulleys that are made in USA!"
