DMM Keanu video first use on a pruning job

worked great! way cool, thanks for sharing.
looks like the pieces sat into the system fine, with all the rope involved to take the load. great to see the action.
 
Not bad my friend. Takes a mile of rope and a shit ton of effort to set up.
You’ll be better off with a m18 holehawg and a grcs.
Not exactly tree work, but someone built a terrace down this bluff to get to the water. The whole thing slid and was a hazardous pile of rubble, we cleared the trash and planted.

I would use a mini with bollard before a grcs too much rope to crank. Two 300' lines and 2 150' lines

That’s where the battery hole hog for the grcs comes into play. The winch, bollard and the mini in the photo was just for moving material not rope. Grcs by hand? Fuuuuk dat…. But you need one hell of a long path for the mini or blocks that can pass knots, or one huge drum for a winch.. that’s where the grcs shines, self tailing, mid line, blah blah…
 
Those battery cranks are pretty sweet. It would be more contained than a redirect at the base to a mini bollard. That's for sure. There was plenty of room at this particular site and a 50' path would have sufficed. Our ropes were long enough that no knots would need to pass through any blocks. If I redid this set up I would have pulled my mini off the truck and used it just to pull on the tow back line as the most effort was spent on it. The limbs were small enough we were able to pull by hand but it was a lot of pulling...
