If the barks that weak Cory, the sling generally cuts right through it with excessive choking of a sling or chain....so the sling ends up biting into solid wood as opposed to a piece of bark.

Its pretty standard, Cory, logical too. If the sling holds good at 2000lb then its not going to come loose if the same log only weighs 1000lb after you cut it. The only thing that could alter things is if your slinging position is poor so the load dramatically changes its orientation after you...

If in doubt, just have the crane op cable up (pre-tension) beyond the estimated load.....BEFORE you make the cut. If all looks good have him drop it back down to whatever and cut the thing off. I can probably count on one hand the amount of logs I had to notch....and they were short wide ones.

Good job :thumbup:
