I’d have bought that 5/8” Tenex if you hadn’t! A large-eye ultra sling girth-hitched onto a Bend-Right ring has become my go-to for all but the biggest rigging.

I apologize…I read your post but my mind thought Tenex. I’ve done one splice on 3/4” Stable Braid, and while it turned out just fine, it was not fun.

If you have a block that will accept the 1” on the fixed sheave, I’d make a dead eye out of it. It’ll be close to 20’ long depending on how you finish the tail.

That 300' rope will double to make a fine pull of significantly higher strength. I have, on multiple occasions, doused my 200' 9/16' by tying the ends together with a Zeppelin Bend. Yes, the Zip weakens it by a tall margin, but the rope is doubled. Doubled 9/16" can substitute for 3/4" in a pinch.

I have, on three occasions, used an entire spool (600’) of rope in pulling. All three times, I just got it back on the truck as best I could, then rewound it back onto the spool once I got home. Twice was across a river and it had to dry out before respooling.

Hand-coiling 175’ of 7/8” Stable Braid is not for the faint of arm. I get about halfway through, lay that half down, then finish the cool and put them together. It’s more than a handful.

I went with 7/8” because it will fit in my big yellow ISC block without distortion. I could get a 1” into the block, but it won’t fit without some distortion.

I have a 7/8” Tenex-Tec dead eye sling that I spliced up for heavy pulls. I’ve put some heavy pulls on it over the last ten years.

We used a deep cycle battery out of my boat. Size 27 I think it is. A new battery will last for two or three pulls (depending on load and how long it has to actually run the winch). We did a job once where we had to tote the battery out of the woods every other tree to charge it for a bit at the...

Mount it on this and you have a portable winch… https://a.co/d/eMfbG8L We’ve carried one across a river in a canoe, trailing a spool of rope behind us. Anchored it to a tree on an island and used it to winch over a tree next to a house on a bluff by the river.

Here you go, John… https://a.co/d/dqO7w02

Theoretically, any amount of lean can be overcome, given all aspects are covered. The biggest issue is that if it’s leaning “too much”, the hinge will fail before it passes the COG. Which is why I often use two pull point, both slightly outside the intended direction of fall. If you have blocks...
