How often do you guys trim the ends off of you lines?
The reason I ask is when we were using the forestry mower we got a chunk jammed in the Fecon. The only rope I had was old snarly the retired 1/2 SB line. So I tied it to the chunk and to the tree and pulled and the rope broke with surprising little pull, retied and it broke again all with in five feet of the end of the rope. Third time the chunk pulled free with a noticeably harder pull as it fused the knots. Ok yes a 1/2 line is no match for a 98hp 15,000lb machine.
