HOTYELL 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)

All of the components were safely positioned inside the kit, which came in a timely manner and was well packaged. It comes with a winch kit and four tree felling wedges, which, when combined, are expected to make milling more effective and controllable. The directions were easy to understand and included sufficient information, which made the assembly process simple even for those who are not very mechanically inclined. The lever arm is, in my opinion, the most notable component of this kit. This characteristic ensures that the sawmill is precisely balanced, which makes the milling operation far less laborious and more streamlined overall. Before I started using this kit, I often had trouble keeping a steady cut, which produced slabs that were uneven and did not appear as professional as they should have. On the other hand, I could immediately see a difference in the quality of my cuts once I started using the lever arm. It is no longer necessary for me to use an excessive amount of power in order to keep the saw on track since it is able to freely move through the wood.

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.

Not bad works as intended

This is one of those accessories that you will kick yourself for not getting sooner if you tend to make these kinds of cuts often. While it does take time to learn, and you will need to teach yourself how to use this both safely and efficiently, once you’re comfortable with it you’ll be shocked at how much faster it makes your work. If I had to give any advice, I would say go slow the first few times to get a feel for it, don’t use too much force (let the mill do the work, you’re not pushing through the wood), and practice turning the winch slowly but at an even pace until you get a feel for it. And of course as always, for the love of god follow basic safety tips like wearing goggles. Obviously a chainsaw mill winch kit is not for everyone (it’s probably one of the most niche things I’ve ever used from Amazon, and it’s not for the faint of heart (in general if you’re using a chainsaw you probably need to be pretty confident in what you’re doing anyways or you’re bound to make some big mistakes) but once you understand how to use it you’ll be glad you took the time.
