5/8” or 3/4” amsteel II will pull everything. I think Stig had 1” amsteel II and pulled with a forwarder.

I am going out on a short limb and saying a 5/8” stable braid is strong enough to break the traction of any on road vehicle( four wheels) pulling on it from the dirt.

With new, good condition rigging line you’d have to work pretty hard, and be pretty stupid to snap it. As Kavey says, when it does happen it’s a lot less dramatic than some would have you believe. Others experience may be different.

Mostly a pop and then slack. I know ropes can store an awful lot of energy, but every one I've ever broken has been remarkably un-eventful, so far as ropes whipping around and such. Steel cable is another matter entirely, as we all know. Back when my dad was driving tow trucks and pulling...

Rigging. I’m thinking pulling with machines.

Rigging or climbing lines?

How old are you?

How often do arb ropes break (depends on the dummy overloading them, I know), and what do they do when they break?

timing is bad but between some family stuff (mostly good) and some injuries/health issues I'm just not fit to do tree work much longer, I'm working part time at the moment, 2-4 hours a day is all I have in me before I'm passing out, diet is good, don't really do soda or energy drinks, 1 or 2...

I am, however I still need a truck to run until I get the machine paid down enough to sell it without owing money

Here’s one my guy took

But are you not getting out of tree work, as of recent posts from you? That rig is great, too bad on your timing.

as far as weight goes, you'd never overload the trailer with brush, but I load more wood in there than brush usually and that gets trucks overweight in a hurry, I had 12,000 pounds of wood on the flatbed last week and it didn't even fill the bed up more than half the height of the bulkhead in...

but thats gonna be hard to reach with loading brush, no?

first job done! doing the math, between truck and trailer I can have upto about 22,000 pounds of tree onboard without using my 10% overweight allowance not bad, not bad, obviously have to balance the weight correctly but those are some nice numbers

I would love to see the Northern Lights!

Cosmic dog watching the northern lights last night.

Making a mess Dead white oak, not enough room to flop it but cut the leads off it fits.

from my armchair i would‘ve prefered to double cut with a shorter bar and slightly smaller powerhead. i am glad that i sold my my 3120 :)
