No 3 or 4" Prussik minding doubly pulleys out there that will take 5/8" rope ?

was working on putting an order together for that 5:1 pulley setup when pulling trees and shocked to find out that I cannot locate a high quality (or any quality for that matter)
3 or 4" Double prussik minding pulley for 5/8" rope. Lots of them out there for 1/2 but not 5/8. I only need one for the lower end but cannot find it. I wish to us the 5/8 rope on the heavier pulls just to give me that warm and fuzzy feeling. Could rig it up so that the puller has to "manually" adjust the prussik progress capture device but it would be nice to have it done automatically.

Does anyone know if anyone makes one ?

Why not use a masdam with a block, or GRCS/Hobbs if you have one? nothing beats the Masdam though, pulled over tons of trees using that system. Tree Co now Del Corbin posted a pic of it years ago here. It's 2:1 but you can pull over just about anything with it. Use it all the time.
