Massdam rope puller

[1savagehunter]

Anyone have any experience with this item. I'm getting one to replace one of my come-alongs.

Yes I do have one and really like it. I don't use it that much but when I have it has worked well. The only caution I would give you is the rope can slip if tension is not kept constant (meaning if the rope slackens much it can slip on the drum). Quality for the price is very good.

Also get the recommended 3 strand Treemaster rope to use with it. The screw like texture of the rope grips better in the puller than any other rope. I have not tried other ropes in it but I have it slip a few times when I did not have enough tension on it. Very handy tool if you can't afford a GRCS

I tried my bull rope in it, and it doesn't work at all. Works good with 3 strand except for a couple slips. Worth it.

Well, I ain't no pro, but I have one, and wouldn't want to be without it. It works as advertised, and it's a well made tool. I expect to have it for many years.

I got mine from Bailey's, along with the New England Safety Blue.


You can put a pretty nice pull on a tree with that thing.

I get a lot of use out of mine, it's a must have tool. I use either a 30ft. or a 150ft. 1/2inch three strand NE Saftey Blue climbing rope.

:agree2: ne safety blue tom trees

I have had one for about six years now and love it.Just make sure you use 1/2" 3 strand rope like every one has said.I used 1/2" True Blue before and it slipped under high pressure.

I use 1/2" tree master 3 strand by samson it grabs well in this puller.
