Yeah I've seen the Porty on the hitch configured a few different ways (i.e. either hung on the hitch like the picture, or girth hitched to the body of the hitch) but I only use that if I'm pulling more than 9000lbs+ worth of tree or so which is rare... Works great.
Exactly, those edges it's wrapped around are rounded and it's wrapped on itself several times so the tensioned end of the rope does not make contact with any rough/sharp edges.
Finally had an opportunity to take some pictures... yanked a Blue Agave out for a client today using this. Had to redirect through the yard off a palm trunk to get a clear and safe pull angle. The house is tucked tight in a cul de sac...
I will post a picture tomorrow afternoon or something of how I do it since it's hard to explain. Just looking for input. I do NOT crossload the caribiner, I make sure before I pull that the spine/gate are aligned in strength with the body of the hitch
Anyone see any trouble with this method? I'm also looking for opinions and would not want to point someone in the wrong direction, however I am still learning. My experience tells me this is safe since we are using wraps for the bite of rope which limits rope bend and maximizes the strength of...
I have a 2015 6.7 Ford diesel (great weight to power ratio for not a chipper bed or anything) 9300lb and I typically take a bite of rope, wrap it around the hitch 3-4 times and clip it back on itself with a 50,000lb break strength Caribiner, the rope locks on itself with the weight on it and...
