    2511 Longevity/durability

    Just curious whether a 2511 can hold up to daily production work for an extended period of time. I own one that's ported and someone I work with poo pooed it. I don't personally use it more than once a month I am just curious.

    GRCS Winch

    I can be slow to understand so bear with me (or don't, that's fine too lol) but by this definition are the pig tails and the two prongs just above the winch not the fairleads in this situation? Both of those parts keep the rope angle entering and exiting the winch drum consistent for every rig...

    GRCS Winch

    I've only had to use 3 wraps while lowering huge hardwood logs after having pretensioned them with the winch. This is from one summer's experience rigging every day with the GRCS, most of my career has been just portawrap and crane, so I'm relatively new to it myself. My company has the rule of...

    GRCS Winch

    I'm interested to learn this isn't other people's experiences, but in my mind, less than 1% of pieces even require 3 wraps to lower anyway, so to me it made sense this was an uncommon thing to even have to worry about.

    GRCS Winch

    My company runs the GRCS for any jobs that require anything more than a couple rigs and are very experienced with it. They taught me that any lowering must be done through the pigtails and that anything 3 wraps and over will jump unless lowered extremely slowly. Really only applies to massive...

    Reliable, fast, chainsaw chain online?

    Just pre assembled loops, my boss doesn't want to get a chain making set up

    Reliable, fast, chainsaw chain online?

    My company is in the thick of storm work and we need to get a lot of chain fast to avoid sharpening while we are swamped pulling 12 hr days. Hoping people can share any online ordering that went well for bulk orders especially with a few different size chains. My local dealership kinda sucks in...

    Ms261c

    Disagree on power, 261 feels stronger to me, years experience with each. It also has more cc.

    That looks like a good bet, thanks!

    Madison, WI Species ID?

    That's what my friend guessed but they also pointed out they only get bark like that when they are mature and when I look at pictures of white alder they seem really big and still smooth barked, these were like 20 ft tall and super rough ‍

    Physics Question: Basal vs Canopy Anchor Forces

     That That was my original question and it has been answered: it's not a significant difference on the intended outcome between either method. Thank you everyone again for the input and helpful diagrams I love arguing semantics, so this thread hasn't been frustrating or disappointing to me.

    Physics Question: Basal vs Canopy Anchor Forces

    I have heard this from someone with a lot of experience, he doesn't like to tie anything very high (55-60 ft+) due to diminishing returns due to the pull angle but I didn't really understand why until this discussion. If nobody asks that in a separate thread I might.

    Physics Question: Basal vs Canopy Anchor Forces

    I enjoy learning and spirited discussions, so carry on. I understand that with a pulley with force on both ends the vector is between the two original forces. I don't understand if friction or the efficiency of the pulley matter for that part of it. And I think it's relevant to discuss, I...

    Physics Question: Basal vs Canopy Anchor Forces

    I don't know what to think here because I'm too dumb to know whose more right, but I'm grateful for the discussion and I'm going to keep an open mind and keep reading about MA systems and how they work with vectors and magnitudes and forces. Thanks all!

    Physics Question: Basal vs Canopy Anchor Forces

    I think what Shadowscape is saying is right because the force applied to one side of the pulley, or branch, is just mirrored on the other side, or multiplied by a factor. It's not divided and distributed across both sides.

    Physics Question: Basal vs Canopy Anchor Forces

    I've always thought of it this way, but a coworker said they got taught that the basal anchor would have more pull, so I figured I'd ask the internet.

    Physics Question: Basal vs Canopy Anchor Forces

    Yes, exactly, thanks for the visual.

    Physics Question: Basal vs Canopy Anchor Forces

    When setting a line in the tree to use to pull it over, what is the difference in forces between a basal or canopy anchor? In an attempt to be more clear: say you set 2 lines 60 ft up two identical 100 ft trees and then pull on them from 150 ft away one is tied off just above my notch and one...
