I've used mine in some pretty nasty ROWs, but you definitely have to know your machine. if you don't you WILL have it on it's roof. It's WAY more top heavy than a normal cable rigged machine. I'm told they are only slightly more tippy than a grapple rig when you have to keep your load up high for some reason. I had some fun with mine.
