That's when I put two or three ropes in.. Don;t get me wrong.. I will definitely get out the bull rope from time to time... yeah like when pulling with a 28,000 lb truck... ANd I don't mind replacing the blue lines from time to time... they pay for themselves over and over..
I don't worry so much about safety margins when pulling trees over... I like to keep things under the safety margins if possible but would much rather exceed a safety margin on a pull line than climb a dangerous tree... Note: it doesn't matter how much pull a machine can generate when the hinge...
I whooped some 1/2 stable braid on the first job, thinking it was true blue and could handle NC rigging (back in the day).. the true blue, with a 30% less tensile, can take an unbelievable beating in NC rigging, giving you a lot more options to get creative in the tree, getting better landing...
Let the saw and gravity do the work whenever possible... they all want to come down..
