not sure if load testing is normal, but I like to put all my eyes under 1-2000 pounds to "set" them, and make sure they arent going to slide on me, when im rigging a 1-5K piece over someones house

update: I have re re-done the splice (it got cut or something, and the core came out of the cover right on the apex of the eye) it has come out even better than the last, fairly tight, did a whole removal on the eye and it didnt move at all, so far so good ive also spliced up an 8ft ultra ring...

rigged some big hickory today and she held excellent, (YES, we did a pull on it with the maasdam a few days ago, prior to rigging over a house)

the other one was just fine, but yall got into my head lol, and I didnt like the way it sat with a girth hitch, felt all lopsided I like not having knots when using rings, don't have to untie a splice

much better, and I think the tight eye will be better yes, im getting a steel biner to use, im not rigging with an aluminum one

will have pics up in a minute, re did the splice with a tight eye, being more careful to not pick strands came out good IMO

ive negative rigged 2-300 pound chunks, forgot the porty self regulated friction and told my groundie to do 2 and 1/2 wraps instead of 2, locked that sumbich up solid, yeehaw

was talking about the height you can work with a 75ft rope, although if your solo rigging you can get about 70ft with it

well, its bad dragging a tree up a hill with a comeallong (most of the rigging ive used that rope for)

short line has its place, and I use the heck out of that trueblue, BUT, the only place I get to use it is pulling, cant lower much with it, and its too stretchy for pulling if I were rigging limbs off saplings like you the 75 might be ok :p

ill bring pizza

ill pay to work, beat that

sorry, I already got the job

+1

got a point, if that was the case I wouldnt be paying attention to the splice

the difference is, in an open field if it fails im not sticking a tree through a house, get what im saying? im sure the splice is fine, passed my load test, will test it hard on the next job I do and update with what I find

yes do I trust my splices to 10K? in an open field yes, over a customers house? no generally I try to keep cuts small, so damage is minimal if/when something fails ive yet to damage a house but now that I say that...

id consider the splice within my acceptable level, and if there is something super big or critical (large chunks directly over a house for example) I use a running bowline, its just the best there ever has been IMO if you want something strong that wont budge the line has an ABS of 10400...

what use is owning rigging if you only get to use it once? buy something that will get the job done every time as I found out, my 60-70ft trueblue line isnt good for rigging, cant even lower stuff from 30ft, the 200ft should be enough unless im doing double whip rigging from 70+ft

wiser words may have never been said I try to keep everything rated fairly high, so no matter what I can grab something and not question weather or not it will hold
