Come a long, or something else?

What is the load rating for both sizes of Maasdam rope puller and the 5:1 Fiddle Block set Sherrill sells?

 

[chris_girard]

My Maasdam 1/2" single par load line has a 3/4 ton (1500 lbs) rating which is usually plenty of pull for what I need.

Anything more and I'll break out the blocks and GRCS.

Start with a z rig (3:1) with a safety klemist at anchor.
if more pull is needed piggy back a 5:1 onto this for 15:1.

We use two differant 5:1 set ups depending on space avalible for the pull. One is twenty feet over all using 3/8 rope, the other is fifty feet over all using 7/16 static and two inch double blocks.

And yes the over the top with the above the cut tie off works great.
