I like the way you edited this! I love seeing how we ended up with two different videos here. Nicely done! Also really like the shot from the gopro on the enforcer. I'm going to have to do that in the future.
Makita did good at choosing to go dual battery and thus 36V. Higher voltage means more power in a same-size package! More efficient since there is less current loss. One reason why big trucks and equipment are sometimes 24V instead of 12V.
I have that makita and it’s a beast. So much so my plumber is buying one to replace the Milwaukee crap. Even though he doesn’t have any makita tools…. Yet. The 40 volt version is even more powerful! You can get the earth auger attachment to drill holes for fencing.
Yeah it is powerful. To be fair, it’s running 2 batteries. It’s a 36 volt vs an 18 volt. It’s like comparing a 60cc rear handle saw to a 35cc top handle. I still use the Milwaukee super hawg, since that one was mine. I love it, and it’s nice to know exactly how much tension I’m applying when the drill maxes out.
I bought my super hawg several years ago and was not impressed at all and went back to hand cranking for just about everything I was using the grcs for. Felt underpowered and now I know why
In my experience, it works well for most grcs rigging. If you’re only tip tying and standing limbs up, 1000 lbs is plenty of pull, even if it’s a 3000 lbs limb, since the butt is supported by the hinge, and the drill isn’t seeing all the weight. The rigged piece def needs to be tip tied tho. And clearly the Makita is stronger. But there is zero chance i would ONLY hand crank. The drill is just so much faster, and a huge energy saver. I can always hand crank what’s left after the dill stalls if need be
Probably something crazy, but anything beyond 2000 exceeds the wll of the GRCS. Not that I haven’t exceeded it, but winching beyond that can bust the gears I’d imagine
@@therealzigzagman yeah I wouldn’t wanna do that. It’s handled some heavy loads I bet it’s close to the super hawg. That Makita is way stronger than I thought.
@@sizemoretreeworks yeah it’s insane 😂. I’ve def put more then 2000 into the GRCS. Probably a lot more. I just think as far as cranking more then 2000 with the gears, it’s probably bad. Zacheus has a video of him hand cranking, and barely got more then 2000. Makes me think that’s the limit of the gearing
The low-speed gear ratio is 44:1 on this Harken winch. 46 refers to some sort of sailing reference...how big of a sail it can handle. Their rigging winches have a taller drum, and they handle bigger diameter rope. With a standard 46 winch you are limited to less wraps and 9/16" rope.
@therealzigzagman I've looked into it because I'll keep an eye out for a good used winch then build my own base. I can live with 1/2" and 9/16" rope. Boats will have these smaller capacity drums. I may even find a size 50 winch but I think it is still limited to 9/16 - not sure.
Good question honestly. The problem with the impact on a grcs is that the internals on the winch are just plastic gears. The force of the impact would destroy them pretty quickly
@@therealzigzagman the older model wasn't strong er r but wore out less in time .was to expensive for them to keep mskeing them thar way for production.
Thanks for drill video. Am about to purchase a drill .and will get makita..it seems..and truck mount for my grcs..should do a video of a drill with power cord .be curious to see ya.ll do video of that ..probly be superior from a corded drill.just saying
@@Sethhaun78 I’m sure it would win. The GRCS can only take so much pain tho. 2000 lbs is the working load limit, and that’s the most we are able to do by hand. The gears seem to just freeze at 2000. A more powerful drill would probably just blow it up
Don't understand the obsession with Milwaukee. ?it's just another consumer ploy .like all tools.malkita makes quality tools.S as do others.sadly most of all tools today aren't what they used to be or metal.also no ones giving credit where it's do.....to Greg for makeing the grcs ..wich is the acuttual tool that works wonders 👉
It literally says “5.0” or “8.0” on the battery. Doesn’t say 5amp hours. Its a bit odd that out of that whole video, THAT’S the comment you decided to make… tbh
@@therealzigzagman it does mate, “ah”means amp hours. Fair enough if it were 5.2 or 8.2 ah but they aren’t. Bit odd but each to their own lol. Thats like counting to 10 but when you say “ten” you say “ten point oh”.
