The Lewis Winch is a versatile power tool that plays a valuable role as boat trailer parts such as a trailer winch, boat winch or anchor winch.
Use it as an atv accessory instead of using your atv winches such as electric winches that deplete your batteries as you are trying to pull out your off road atv when it gets stuck.

Equipment Review:
Lewis Winch
By Dave Boyt
It isn’t always feasible to bring in a skidder, and a battery-powered electric winch means lugging around a 12-volt battery. There are several portable gasoline winches out there, and the selection depends on the need. This article takes a look at the chainsaw powered Lewis Winch.
Although the winch was sent to me for evaluation, I wound up buying it instead of sending it back.

Cutting Class
By Jim Collins
Finally, they settled on a chain-saw-powered winch they’d seen in the forestry-supply catalog that served as reading material in the privy.
The rig was dubbed the Death Slide after one log snapped the axle of a hand-powered winch.
The solution: A chainsaw powered Lewis Winch that zipped logs up the slide in seconds.
Anchored to a tree, powered by a Husqvarna chainsaw, the winch could zip a log up the slide in 30 seconds.

Chainsaw-Powered Winch
FARM SHOW MAGAZINE REVIEW
What really sets the powerful Lewis Winch apart is that you can power it with any chainsaw motor that is 3 cu. in. or larger.
One reason the Lewis Winch is so popular, even at a cost of $899, is the pulling power it offers. A general duty chainsaw with an engine size of 5 to 6 horsepower can pull 3,000 to 3,500 lbs. in a straight line. A Lewis Winch Snatch Block doubles the pulling power. The Lewis Winch comes with 150-ft., 3/16-in. galvanized aircraft cable. A 250-ft., 1/8-in. is also available.

Tools to move the big stuff
By Steve Maxwell
If you haul timber, move boulders, drag or hoist heavy objects or salvage stuck vehicles, then you will want to own some pulling tools.
Thanks to the magical mechanical advantages provided by clever combinations of wheels, levers and gears, three small-scale tools --- the block and tackle, ratcheting winch and chainsaw-powered winch --- allow you to move very heavy objects all by yourself.

Popular Mechanics looks at
winch powered by chainsaw
By R. Joseph
It’s quite a feeling to be able to haul up to 8,000 pounds by pulling the trigger of a chainsaw.
That’s what you can do with this winch designed to be powered by a chain-saw head.
I tried out the unit on two 8 inch diameter, 16 foot long logs. The winch pulled them over some rough terrain and through dense underbrush with no problems.
