I've never seen a rear mount! I have the same unit just mounted on the front and it dumps. These things are awesome. Best built grapple trailers available
The deep notch tells me he was focused on the notch and forgot about being tied into the same log and not to like a neighboring tree.
when i was less comfortable working on my spikes on akinny, squirrel-y stems, id stay tied in for the notch. I once put the saw to wood for my back cut and saw...
@islandarb its definitely a bit bouncy if youre running SRT all the time. I like the squir myself but I do a fair amount of moving rope.
@Steve Connally it might have been me. I posted about buying the Courant 16 strand line. I've been using it a bunch for removals working off a moving rope...
They've made it better over time. I remember it was pretty lump my inside and maybe wasn't the most durable cover on it either. But held find and once milked was a lot less "gushy". It's a lot like Tachyon, with 3 unbranded strands running inside the braided core, in am effort to keep it feeling...
I like it. Similar performance with systems to KM3max but has more bounce to it. Can feel a little bounce with a lot of rope in the system running srt with like a base tie or a super tall tree. Not as "hard" of a rope as km3max, feels a little nice to jump around on

@Winchman around $1000 will get you the general liability insurance you need to cover you (assuming your state laws are similar to mine) to do the sort of work you're talking about. A $150 minimum and you're covering the cost that will get you the security your potential clients need.

Is what it is when you do it as a hobby / side gig. There are things I wouldn't be hiring people to do that don't do it for a living around my house. I'd imagine if I didn't do trees myself, it would definitely be one of those things I certainly would not hire an uninsured person or business for.
Yes same as typical double braid splice. Cover taper count is a little different as it's cover pattern is different.
I use a cover taper pattern of 5, 5, 5, 5, 5
