Abstract
A cable pulling device (1) having a capstan (6) extending from one side of a housing (11) that attaches to a boom (10) of a backhoe (5) via a quick coupling (8). The capstan is located on an external side of the housing in an offset and exposed manner that allows a rope (19) to be wrapped over and/or around the capstan. By pulling on the rope, an operator is able to control tension on the capstan, thereby allowing the capstan to provide a pulling force on the cable or one or more electrical wires being pulled through the conduit.
