    This is rigging!

    Good eye Phill. Yes, my control line should have been shown in that picture. I was under the gun to get photos in to TCIA and had to do a mock setup of an English Reeve system at my house. You would want to have a control line/s that would allow you move the carriage back and forth. Will have...

    This is rigging!

    Nice work, we'll check them out. Thanks. Looks like you're floating wood in the pic with a tip and butt tie. We do this all the time with polyester double-braid lines as well without any issues. Much more favorable rope angles with this technique. As you probably know, floating wood with a...

    Here in NH, you can't even get the fucking Bandit dealer MB Tractor to call you back. They suck! I have been waiting over a year to get on their list for a new 12" chipper.

    Class I splice for Class II rope

    There are no specs on splicing for a situation such as you have described that I am aware of. Your best bet is to contact Iron Street Splicing Company in Washington State (they are affiliated with WesSpur). They do a lot of custom splicing using ropes with a Class I and Class II combined...

    The reason The Bone wasn't mentioned was that I have never used it. Probably the same thing with the hitches. Article was about my own personal SRT development.
