I am planning on making a choker for drawing logs with my quad... Currently I have been using just a section of 5/32" cable with a hook on the end, I just wrap the cable around the load and hook it back to itself, which I know is not a good practice....
Does anyone have any recommendations for making a choker?? One commercially available choker is comprised of "20' of 3/16" aircraft cable with a 4" eyelet at one end and 5' of G30 zinc plated 1/4" chain ending with a 1/4" U.S. Made, forged steel heavy-duty hook on the other"
Does that sound like a feasable design to utilize? a chunk of chain for wrapping around the load, then cable to the quad?
