What do you guys think would be the best rope for pulling brush out of the trailer? We keep ripping the jacket off of the double braids we've been using. Thanks.
Three strand is a good choice. As is true blue. I have an old beat up hank retired to Harding and such that just refuses to die
Old retired arbormaster lines work well as stated. Retired rope keeps earning money like this.
The chocker chain on skidding choker sound good but may be overkill. Our trailer is 16' long and we choke the brush front to back, we'd need about 40' of chain...
We've only broken one rope, just mangled a couple is all. I ordered some twelve strand and am immediately doubting it, I may change to some 5/8s 3strand...
Another approach , Lewis Winch ... Yarn out long way before loading w a slide on the cable. Unload by anchoring winch , put hook in the slider and you can pull whole schmiel off easy w Truck in Park... (I'm an idea man)
You can have a custom 40' FSE chocker made for a fraction of the cost of rope and will last a long time.
No trees or stumps at the dump try a ground anchor: post and picket, one of those duckbill tree guying things, screw in dog leash deals.
Mount the winch on the trailer tongue, run cable under trailer. Mount pulleys on trailer tail. Cable runs under trailer, back over the tail and back to the choker eye at the front of the trailer. Hook up and winch off like turnbuckle.
Guy up here has a truck set up like that.. shit just rolls right off.
