    new rope wrench tether

    [ QUOTE ] I have found that placing the tether on the side of the micro pulley outside of looking assymetrical works pretty well. [/ QUOTE ] Kevin I've been using mine like this for a while now but a few days ago I was working a spar and coming back up on spikes so standing and tending the...

    new rope wrench tether

    How do you guys attach the stiff tether to your climbing system? I've been putting mine to the side of the prussik and hitchclimber pulley all on one pulley but it tweaks the tether as it keeps it at a slight angle to the whole system....? jp

    zigzag

    I saw this used at the hawaii comp and it was incredibly smooth. I like to keep things simple so haven't used any mechanical hitches that have been out, but after seeing this in use I'm definitely interested. jp

    Typical US Risk Report

    Small chip truck chassis

    nice truck Jlinky I think you're smart with the 7.3L the 6.0 can be made to be reliable from what I understand, but you have to sink some $ into it (like around 5K) to get it to that point. You're box setup will look sweet on that truck, now for some TLC! jp

    Trees as pipes (Wulkowicz tune in please)

    I'm a little confused by the original question? Are you asking if the failure is due to the weak attachment point or the change in the shape of the tree because of the co-dominant stems? Frank Rinn was here in Honolulu a few weeks ago doing pull tests and resistograph readings on several large...

    Big enough chip truck???

    Yes the power isn't the problem, truck should be able to pull close to what the bigger trucks do, the issue is being able to stop/slow down safely and not overloading your suspension and frame to the point of failure. jp

    Small chip truck chassis

    I would be looking for a 99-2003 f550 diesel with low miles and AC and put your box on the new cab. I bought my 2001 f550 7.3L w/ 73k miles and mason dump bed for 15K almost a year ago, it is a sweet truck and pulls my 15" bandit no problem. jp

    Big enough chip truck???

    There are lots of guys that pull 12 inch chippers with 1 ton trucks. You have to figure out what the curb weight of your truck is, the GVW of your truck (i'm guessing 12.5k) and then add the tongue weight of the chipper plus your max load (based on cubic yards of your box) to see if you are...

    Small chip truck chassis

    That looks like a nice truck, what year and engine is in that truck? If it's a gasser, I would highly consider finding a 7.3L diesel to put into that truck versus buying a whole new cab/chassis to find for your dump body. jp

    Link pulley or pulley saver?

    There you go, thanks for the input Tony. I was beginning to wonder if I was in the right forum, I guess you gotta be from Maui to get all the responses ! jp

    Link pulley or pulley saver?

    I've got the original rope guide before they used webbing and I'm thinking of adding a ART pulley to the cam on the rope guide but I've heard good things about the pulleysaver. Any benefits to the ropeguide over the pulley saver or vice a versa? jp
