    Kevin Bingham knee ascender?

    I've been running a cable reel the last 5-6 years. Found a good one that lasts a long time. Gearkeeper is the brand I use. If there's any interest I can post some pictures.

    Anyone been hit by a throw weight?

    My very first throw, my third day of tree I was asked to set a line to pull a tree over. The ball got a little stuck on some small twigs so I gave it a good yank, as you do, and it shot back hit me in the forehead and laid me out and foreshadowed my entire relationship with throw line.

    Avant grapple?

    When we bought our machine it came with the avant grapple on it and didn't want to wait for a bmg to come in. We returned the grapple in a week for a bmg. It couldn't get around moderately sized brush piles, felt heavy on the machine and didn't have the grip for large logs.
