I seldom use blocks. They take too long to tie + its one more failure point. When I have tho, maybe 2500lbs max. Im not in that big of a hurry working with big wood over other peeps property.
Ever cut ur own false crotch on some beefy chunks?? That **** will keep ur attention. Havent needed to do that in a long time thanks to block n loopie. I cant say I really miss it.
Now 1 newton = 0.225 pounds force
So at 0.1 metres - one would have arond 100,000 lbf!! At 0.5 metres it drops to around 20,000 lbf and at 2 metres to less than 5,000 lbf.
Still a lot of weight on the equipment.
Thank God I dont have to worry about calculating all that - when I get my gear it is always marked how many newtons it can take, not just how much weigt - plus we use a metric system anyway, so it is a little easier for me:wink2:

I don't think any of us actually calculate, other than in rough numbers in head. But good to review what calculators or formulas tell you once in a while to get appreciation for the loads and forces in play.
That machine actually has quite a few attachments; only question about stump grinder is - does that have any wider side to side swing? Seems awful narrow compared to what I am used to in a stump grinder. You should have been able to do that stump in a full swing, vs only maybe half of it. Now I did not watch whole video, so sorry if something changed at end.
new ones by DMM...
If you into heavy rigging, they make some nice blocks. Bite the pocket book a bit though.
All the time. I dont like how they drop so far when you use a block.
What a luxury today was! Three man crew, the Steiner and a Bobcat sharing the load and working together.
To address the doubters: The Bobcat (worn tires, used to be a rental) slid into the landscaping because of the slope. Vince decided wisely to let it sit until I got back (I was dumping a load of huge logs). Had the Bobcat gone any further into the bushes there was a three foot drop right into the pool. Would any of you master skid steer operators here have chanced that little side trip?
On assessing the situation I put my 3 ton come-along (fiber rope) on the base of a neighbor's Pine tree and secured the Bobcat from any further slide into the landscaping (and pool), then I hitched the Steiner and gave enough of a pull to assist Vince in coming out of there. After that we kept the 'cat on level ground and the Steiner dragged the big stuff to it. Once all the big pieces were out the 'cat was banished to the road as the loaded weight was tearing up the turf too much. We didn't even bother to fire up the 'cat to load the smaller logs. We're real men, we just threw them in by hand.
I bought the Steiner specifically for this job. Three more like it and it has paid for itself. Also made $200 cash for grinding out an averaged sized stump when the neighbor came out to ask us what we were tying the Bobcat to his Pine tree for. It's a snooty upscale neighborhood and they are all concerned about property lines and turf damage etc. I smoothed him out and got some extra cash for the effort to be nice.
Whatcha gonna do tomorrow? Here's mine:
Anybody got some good advice on how to get that one to land on the customer's property and not the neighbor's pool? Ben, why not take a day off and help me with this one? 07:00 at my house, lunch will be catered and a pool party onsite after work ...
Take the ####ty fence apart and drop it.
Towards the camera idk whats hiding behind that brush but it might fit
AA, take the weight off the backside and looks like you can just notch and drop with a mechanical advantage setup attached to an adjacent tree or your steroid loaded lawnmower ( sorry, had to type it! LOL)
Snapped my half inch samson stablebraid ... I am going to need a new rigging set from Wesspur for big wood, just need to fig how big? Like the kits they sell but may need to buy stuff to make my own. Maybe time my sorry ass learns how to post video.
The slope and soft turf did the skid steer in and I had to pull it out with the Steiner:
