That is a good idea but maybe not for this scenario as it had to be redirected. Although, another block could have taken care of the other leg of rope.

In the case that inspired this thread the nervousness comes in because I don’t want to snap a $300+ rope. No property damage imminent. Also a chance (at least in my mind) the branches laying on the rope fail to take it to the ground and the rope comes back at me and the truck. I 100% agree...

That’s right!! Good call. I remember that video now I haven’t been able to find one with a Truck though. I could definitely add some mechanical advantage, but I would be nervous doing that without knowing what the truck is pulling. maybe if I dig deep enough, I can find somebody who did a load...

I hear you, truly. I just wonder what kinds of forces I’m exerting. I’m sure it’s above 1000lbs but below 10000lbs. The lack of information makes me nervous ( maybe I should limit or cut out those situations where too much force could build)

It would be nice if someone did load cell pull tests with various trucks on pavement and dry dirt/grass.

A z rig is on the list!! I use a come along for finesse and the truck for brute strength. The Z would be the best of both, I’m sure.
