You know, I was gonna post a reply, but I forgot to. Call me an Arbor nerd, but the first thing that struck my eye was the fact that the redirect lines were all kept to approx. 120* to reduce loads on the redirects. Was this intentional?

I think it's more to keep from loading the fairleads on the winch brackett.

I do the exact same thing fot that very reason, well except I usually use a loopy, and prefer as high a tie-in as possible. On that one I would probably have run the line around several high stems and tied a fixed bo'lin.

I've never used a GRCS, so I wasn't aware of that issue. I might get to use one tommorrow though. I just remember seeing the 120* as the magic number to reduce loads on a redirect so it caught my eye.

Are you speedlining that tree or setting it up to pull it over in one piece.

 

[Redbull]

Good to know. Thanks.

 

[treeone]

cool ... replies .
I ment no offense by the finger .
We were using it to pull the tree over whole ... I've got a video if anyone wants to see it. But you big tree guys have probably seen a tree fall over before.

 

[Redbull]

SHOW THE VIDEO! We're guys, we could watch a tree fall over many times, over and over and over and over and over....

[treeone]

clean up in the snow .... don't like it , you end up raking snow .

 

[Redbull]

I knew I'd like it, thanks. I tried to get video of a big Pin Oak and Sycamore that I flopped last week, but my dad the cameraman forgot to turn the camera on. Whoops!!

Real nice when you can "flop 'em", especially in the winter!

I've used a Maasdam Rope Puller with good results in the same situation!
