Green log weight chart isn't going to tell you reality. Tree weight varies by season. Crotch and stump wood are denser.

Robert, again, if you can get some known weight using a bathroom scale, like three logs, then lift them through a pulley, with the CRP in your normal pulling situation (horizontal off your truck), you will know what your 6-7 really means, in a quantitative measurement. This is where you can use...

I don't like calling things by brand name if they also make another tool. I never get out the Sampson or New England to pull a tree. I get out the 1/2" stable braid. I'm not trying to gain sponsorship or anything. Maasdam makes cable-comealong and strap come-alongs, too.

CPE, Marc-Antoine? When I'm using the Maasdam CRP, I use it with: one arm, bending at the elbow for light pull. (1-3 out of 10) One arm, pulling from the shoulder and elbow (4-6 out of ten) Two hands on, pulling hard to max with full body (7-10 out of 10). When my groundman is pulling...

Another of my great ideas, ahhh NO... I just have a good memory of discussion of the idea presented in Fundamentals of General Treeworker, by our esteemed friend Jerry B. Almost everything, I've learned from someone, so I'm glad to Pass It Forward (as cheesy a phrase as that is).

Stretch is bad with a heavy leaner. You want more control, without fighting the stretch out, to start to actually pull. With the stretch, especially with a long run of rope, you've stored pulling-energy in the tensioned, elastic rope. If you pretensioned the rope, it will start to stretch...

It's called a continuous rope puller, which means it will pull as much rope as you have without resetting. I like KISS. P.S. three-stand is high elasticity/ stretch. You mentioned that pecan pull-rope being very tight, in your estimation. What I like about a manual winch is you're better...

Designed for 3-strand. Grabs 1/2" stable braid fine imo. Also be aware that when doing hard pulling on the maasdam CRP handle that you need to make sure the Pawls are engaging well, so that they don't start to be damaged. Over enough time there will be wear, especially with employees. If...

Kiss. Put an 3:1 MA on 1/2" stable braid, put 1/2" stable braid through the rope puller. If this is not enough pull, you shouldn't be pulling it. One rated puller on the anchor tree, one rated pulley hitched mid-span, and back to the puller. I can't image you really needing more pull, at this...
