Hi all. We've had an SK600 for about a year and a half, mostly do trail work with it (pushing dirt, logs and rocks around). Threw a track twice yesterday and what a bear it was getting it back on. I believe the SK600 is the same mechanical setup as SK650 with the bolt you let out to loosen...

It's why I posted - the maasdam is so reliable. And simple. We use griphoists (TU-17 and -29) for rock work and bridges, but I don't have any experience with a set-up lighter than a maasdam, so wanted to post hear ya'll's thoughts.
