Deva, do your balls clank together when you walk? :O

No, a chicken. :lol:

I'm not trying to be argumentative because I do see Sean's point. For years I rarely roped anything heavier than a couple hundred pounds. But as I got older and more experienced I would take bigger and bigger pieces. Once I started working from a bucket it was much easier for me to take big...

Keep going until you find it. I'll take your word for it. ;)

But the shock load of that piece hitting the end of the rope can be 3-4x the actual weight or more. Any time you start pushing potential shock load numbers up over 10K-15K it starts getting into territory that's a bit too risky for my taste. 20" wood is fine but 28" wood gets real heavy real fast.
