    Tried with just the standard handle on the Rockchucker, it worked but it wasn't easy.

    4 foot pipe slid over the handle helped immensely. Just glad the Rockchucker is as strong as it is and mounted as solidly as it is.

    This took more effort that converting 300 Weatherby to 300 H&H.

    Some times you just need a little help from a friend.

    That brings back memories. We used a Swede, a thirty inch piece of pipe, to buckle down the chain binders on our log trucks. Sometimes a longer lever or a bigger hammer is the answer.
    BIG OR SMALL I LIKE THEM ALL, 577 TO 22 HORNET.
