Can I return the puller if I don't like it?
Yes, but you will love it.

Back to Top

Can I get parts for the puller?
Yes. Even for the units 55 years old. The puller is easily field repairable and does not require special tools.

Back to Top

What is the difference between the 2 ton models?
Cable length. Everything else is the same.

Back to Top

Why buy The More Power Puller instead of a winch?
Cheaper and more versatile. Pull from front, rear or even upright a rolled over vehicle from the side. Many electric winch owners also own our puller as a backup and because it's portable. Since it is portable, you can use it to pull down trees, pull stumps, move boulders, move trees in your path, loan it to friends, hundreds of uses.

Back to Top

Will your puller pull my heavy vehicle out when I'm stuck?
It should. Our model 2-35 puller can actually "lift", straight up off the ground 4,000 lbs. A good example of dragging or pulling something is this: If you lay underneath your vehicle, can you lift it? If you put your vehicle in neutral, can you push it?

Back to Top

Why buy your puller over another brand?
Safety, reliability and durability of the unit. It will not bend, break or collapse under a load. Please see other sections of our web site for the specs.

Back to Top

What is the most popular cable length?
20 feet. However, 30´ is a good middle of the road cable length. The 35´ seems to be the favorite of the four wheel off-road enthusiasts and forestry workers. It depends on what you will use it for the most. The more cable on the reel, the harder it is to handle.

Back to Top

Can I get a puller with more than 35 feet of cable?
No and yes. 35´ is all we can get on the cast reel. We sold 40´ for years, but replaced it with the 35´ model. Inexperienced users continuously had problems with the cable bird caging (tangling) on the reel. The 35´ model has a drag spring on the cast reel and less cable to handle. A few suppliers still order the 40' model. It has a welded reel and no drag spring. Please do not request the 40´ model unless you have lots of experience using pullers. If you need added distance we recommend the use of 5/16" choker cables or chain.

Back to Top

Are there more models available?
No. This is all we manufacture.

Back to Top

Can I use another handle or steel pipe instead of your handle?
ABSOLUTELY NOT. The use of a cheater bar voids the warranty and puts your life in danger. Our handle (part # P7 and # P7-3) is a calibrated handle and is designed to bend when the unit is overloaded. This is the main safety device of the unit.

Back to Top

Should I buy a spare handle since it is designed to bend on an overload?
It's a good idea. If you need to order the handle separately, we recommend buying at least 2. The shipping cost is about the same for two as it is for one (the shipping costs more than the handle does).

Back to Top

How much pull on the handle does it take to operate the puller?
The effort that it would take to operate the puller is going to depend on several things, such as the weight of the object being moved, lifting or dragging the object, the medium the object is in, slope, etc. Obviously, a 200 lb. object is not going to take nearly the effort a 4,000 lb. object would. To prevent damage to the unit, the handle is designed to bend once the user exceeds the safety rating of the puller. On a 2 ton unit, this happens at approximately 173 lbs. of force on the handle, which is the approximate equivalent of 4,000 lbs. of "lift" effort from the puller. On a 3 ton unit, this happens at approximately 316 lbs. of force on the handle, which is the approximate equivalent of 6,000 lbs. of "lift" effort from the puller.

Back to Top

What is the difference between the 2 ton and the 3 ton models?
The 3 ton unit is identical to the 2 ton unit, except that the 3 ton unit has a larger and stronger tackle block hook and a heavier handle. That is the only difference. The 3 ton unit has less of a built in safety factor than the 2 ton units. The 3 ton unit still has a good safety factor and every 20th 3 ton unit is proof tested on a calibrated testing machine at our factory.

Back to Top

Can I get more than 20 feet of cable on the 3 ton model?
No. This is hard to explain, but with a heavy 3 ton load if there is more than 20 feet of cable around the reel, the outer strands of cable get pulled beneath some of the upper layers of cable. The strands pulled underneath get wedged in with the under layers and can't be removed. FYI: This is not a problem with the 2 ton units.

Back to Top

Are there repair kits available?
No. All parts are sold individually. Every little part is available, so whatever your puller needs you can get it and not pay for something you don't need.

Back to Top

The cable on my new puller is too stiff.
It will loosen up after a load has been on it. Some people keep tension on it for awhile for this reason.

Back to Top

Can I put my own cable on the unit? Can I buy the cable to reel attachment (part # RF) separately?
Yes, but only use 5/16" 6 x 37 fiber core wire rope - Improved Plow Steel. It is extremely important to only use this cable for safety reasons. The More Power Puller is an extremely powerful tool and to use a smaller cable would put your life in danger.

Back to Top

I don't like cable clamps. Can I get a replacement cable with the end hook already attached with a sleeve?
Yes. However, you will have to flatten the ferrule, install the rivet in the ferrule, etc. Please see our documents page here for details.

Back to Top

Can I use a bolt instead of rivets?
No.

Back to Top

Can I become a distributor?
Maybe. We are careful not to have too many retailers in one area. Please contact us to see if a dealership is available in your area. New distributors must initially buy 12 units (in any combination) and also buy 12 in the future to get the best price.

Back to Top

How do I take care of the puller?
Only use our handle, keep the puller greased/oiled with White Lithium Grease w/Teflon, White Lithium Grease or 3-In-One Oil (SAE20) and use common sense. Of course, read and follow the operating/safety instructions that come with the unit.

Back to Top

Can I repair my own puller?
Yes, please see our documents page here.

Back to Top

I lost my instruction brochure. Is there a copy of it on the website?
Yes, please see our documents page here or contact us with your mailing address and we’ll mail you one.

Back to Top

Do you have pictures to help me see how to install the replacement cable on the reel, etc?
Yes, please see our documents page here.

Back to Top

Can you notify me of future new products that you may offer via email?
Sure, just let us know. FYI: Your email would only be used for this purpose.
