I like the cut of your jib!
I did think of that but my concern would be the biner clunking against the winch and scratching it up

I'm pretty set on having the bollard and the winch both fixed on at the same time. What happens is you ask the ground person to switch something on the device but they couldn't be bothered, so you end up doing something else to avoid an argument. My core-concept is that the work becomes easier...
ah the rope angle deflector that enables the operator to stand anywhere instead of just at 90° to the drum. Is that right?

I'm not quite sure what you mean mate.
The winch does "ratchet" in a sense...

I have fairleads on the prototype pictured in my original post which I'd like to use, if they do well in testing.
The main function of the fairlead is to provide an approximately 8° angle of rope entry on to the winch drum to prevent overlap. Beyond that, they aren't meant to be load bearing. I...
I'm instigating various types of rubber mounts. It's super important that it not damage the tree for pruning and situations where the device is mounted to a different tree than the one being removed.

great feedback guys. I have been wondering if 2 ratchet straps would be too much set up. I had a personal preference for 2 straps for security, but it's also important to me to that set up be both fast and easy.
3/8" is too small for sure!
What rope diameters do you normally use for your...
