[QUOTE="Whitespider, post: 3860755, member: 57106"] Something else I might add... Notice I don't rig the tree all that high up... there's a reason for that (although the bigger the tree, the higher I rig for leverage). The lower you rig, the shorter the pull at the pulling machine (whatever it is)... and the shorter the pull, the more control you have... and you can pull faster. That makes a big difference when using something that pulls relatively slow, like a winch or come-a-long. In that drop my truck only moved about 10 feet and the tree was on the ground... yet the cable stayed tight near all the way down. [/QUOTE]
