Sean, I get it now... with the pulley, picking up the wood vertically via a pulley! ... that is a great idea. Actually I could even estimate with a (green) wood chart. ha, thanks for the continued ribbing on the truck... yeah, that sounds good.... something better than nothing.

Kenny, thanks a lot for posting...... it is going to take me "a minute" to give your post the time and attention it deserves!

Yeah, this is what happened to me with the Pecan tree...... it surprised me during the back cut when the tree started to pinch my bar (and I added wedges) -- I evidently thought I had enough tension in the line, but I didn't have...... that was really the first hint that things weren't going as...

Sean, thanks a lot for all these ideas and all the ones you've shared since I've been coming here. ha, many of your posts are not unlike Kenny/TreeSpyder's in that they warrant reading over and over. Only with yours, they are like lots of marbles rolling down an inclined board with indentations...

thanks for the perspective, Treesmith yeah, truck is faster with more power.

Thanks Jonny (I apologize, sir, I see I've been misspelling your name) --- yes, a prussik (or other type of hitch) .... not mechanical) Thanks Sean --- yeah the (stretch/tension) + (lack of experience) was what freaked me out on the pecan pull. .......... I guess if one really wanted to...

Thanks Sean. I guess I need to just try the maasdam with the 1/2" stable braid rope so I can see... .... but having used the "modular" 25' rope maasdam w/ rope grab technique a few times..... I have to say I really like it. Is there any inherent danger in this method? what does CRP stand...

Thanks a lot Sean for your consistent perspective and help. Yeah KISS -- always.... of course one man's simple is sometimes another man's complex..... .... BUT .... isn't the Maasdam designed for 1/2" 3 strand rope? ..... will 1/2" stable braid work? Thanks!

Thanks a lot, Bermy! Peter.... Question please.... would you have time to make a picture of what you are talking about.... ...would it still be using the Maasdam to pull the 5/8" bull rope and getting a 3:1 MA? Thanks!! Thanks for looking, Mellow...... would appreciate more feedback if...

great Johnny. Thanks!

.... yeah, sometimes I think I can save time by just asking the question fresh instead of looking it up -- lazy -- ... but also I can get my own clarification... Does this look like the correct configuration for a 3-1 Z-rig setup? Thanks to Patrick (TreeMuggs) -- where I adapted this picture...

Thanks Nutball, Bermy!

How can I get 3000 lbs of pull from a 1000 WWL 3 strand rope? 3:1 MA system, right? I can't get my head around how to set up the pulleys in order to transfer 1000 lbs from my Maasdam w/ friction hitch (ala Patrick) to 3000 lbs to a 5/8" bull pull rope attached to the victim tree: Thanks for...
