Just curious. Do you always pull in the same direction as your notch or do you sometimes pull to the side a little? For instance, if your drop target was the windmill but you wanted to be damn sure it didn't go to the right any so you have your truck pulling to the left of the windmill to make sure the fall starts on course and then stears with the notch and hinge toward the windmill. Ive done very few falls with a rope pull.
Another question. I read here recently a pulling vehicle will pull 80% of its weight. Is that 2WD, 4WD, tracked, on mud, on dry ground, on concrete, etc? Are we talking tensile strength, working load, or other? More specifically my 3000 pound 4WD tractor or 4WD truck should pull what sized rope?
