Amen to some good cotton gloves!!



I worked with a guy that lived near WV, that dude was like 6'6'' well over 300lbs, he would take 6 chokers on the cable & tote them up the hill through brush like they where string, I wish he was around when we where pulling yarder cable. .

Haha, he sounded just like a damn cow when he coughed LOL. A GOL logger, but a damn good dude..

This is relative. I have an ATV with rope instead of steel cable on it. I have broken the end 1x in a yr. I do skid some logs with it.

It is nice not getting splinters from the cable in my hands.

Guy at the ATV place claimed I would like the rope better for lifting the snow plow.

I would get rope for this 3500# winch again.

I understand this is not a skidder. I still drag the line on the ground in the woods, over rocks, & whatever.
