    Ultra sling vs deadeye: double the strength?

    No. Spliced properly that deadeye should be near 100% of the rated rope strength. love nick

In the most recent one we installed we were using a 3 ton car jack to lift the limb approx 6 inches. It would take tons of force...

    Most Expensive Tree Removal

    I’ll start the bidding at $14,400. Not a gigantic tree, but the haul out was pure insanity. Luckily with the 100ton crane we didn’t need to actually HAUL! love nick

    Hey guys! Glad you’re talking about props! we use a variety of sizes. Most common is steel, 2.5” OD. The top “cap” is a 5” long threaded insert that sits on top of the round schedule 40 tube. We used to have them welded but frankly it was annoying having them welded every time we needed a...

    Loopie vs whoopie

    Whoopie, I’m my opinion, is way better than a loopie. You can unload a loopie when it’s under full tension. You cannot do that with a whoopie. love nick

    Splice a second bridge onto lower d's?

    How short do you want this bridge to be? My bridge is like 10-12 inches long. You can’t do two double braid splices PROPERLY and have it that short. Even 24” is tough
