Any thoughts on using my chipper winch as a speedline straight to the chipper? choke winch rope around tree, pull slack out with the winch, I figure as long as its tight it cant physically get pulled into the chipper
or am I stupid? it seems to me like an ideal setup as there would be no rope on the ground to tangle like you have with a port a wrap, it cant pull more slack into the line since it has an 8 thousand pound anchor, and you can tension as much as you want (10K in my case, custom build)
also at some point I want to mount a bollard to my chipper as yet another lowering device, anyone do something like this?
open to input, going to try and do better accepting the fact its probably dumb as can be
