sounds like any other cool tool, do this ,dont do that, but one things for sure climbing on a pulley will save your shoulders and elbows and give you better friction hitch control for more fun moving through the tree,,,

Ordered a Pinto today along with my CA Study Guide from TreeStuff, looking forward to playing around with it in a Pulley Saver configuration. Now I have to scrounge up some rope to splice.

Could you make a pulley saver using an ART pulley on a rope with a large eye splice?

 

[treedoclang]

Yes you can. That is what I did and it works wonderfully.

Can you put up a pic ???

 

[treedoclang]

I will be at the Ohio comp setup tomorrow and I will take a pic and see if I can post it from my phone. It works great and is easily retrievable.

Here's a photo of one I recently made. The smaller PINTO you cannot pull a regular ropeguide retrieval ball through the pulley. Do you guys use something else? I'm thinking of a trip to the hardware store to look for a smaller piece.

I use electrical tape on the throat of the spliced eye. I use a rope guide but its the same idea.

Just got some real insights to the finer intricasies of the pulleySAVER at the teufelberger/treemagineers workshop in Austria.

There is more to this item than meets the eye, more details when i m more sober, lol!

 

[GibsonTreeCare]

I was thinking on one, but the rope wrench may make it obsolete, along with a lot of my kit....not that i mind a lighter gear bag

Don't you have to use an spacer for the Pinto on your set up?

 

[chris_girard]

Hey Bull, are these coming in soon?

 

[BostonBull]

Rumors rumors rumors!

New England Ropes as of Friday still had no tracking info from Europe. Hoping in next few days or weeks.

received my pulley saver yesterday from Honey Brothers.
It was on backorder but got it finally. you will probarly get it next week

 

[Jules_Grebe]

This is my best attempt. Tachyon with polymer insert in the eye. Quick release snap from a horse lead. 8mm OP spliced on the rig. I will probably never splice 8mm again. Its just way too hard, but Treestuff didn't have the spacers when I got my pinto. Also after trying a true pulley saver I am planning on getting one once Treestuff gets them.

 

[BostonBull]

They're here!

 

[CreTree]

I want one. How do I get one?

 

[Tr33Climb3r]

Awesome! I want to try and get one before my climbing com in WI

This is my second pulley saver attempt. This time around I used the ART cocoon instead of the pinto. If you are like me and have no splicing ability, this set up works great. Retrieves perfect every time. Built on a special order 8 ft Sherrill footlocking prussic. Works well even on small diameter branches.
