Was that 1/2'' new england safety orange you had through the machine??
Many do want the stumps ground. I have a gentalman that I work with that does all of my grinding. In this case both trees were on customer 2's property. Customer one (a good friend of mine) wanted the first tree down due to its structure. I gave him a GREAT deal. He ran ropes and chipped the brush. He paid for the tree because customer 2 didnt have money. When I completed the tree she decided that she had enough to do the other tree. My friend wasnt very pleased. She worked him like a puppet.
Yes the rope is New England safety blue HI-Vee 200'. It was my climbing line at one time. Until I found better ropes and systems. Now it is my light duty rigging line.

It is awesome rope.
What do you climb on now???
I climb on it and then have Samson 9/16'' i think stable braid as my rig line...then a 5/8 stable braid for larger stuff.
Hi Vee is good rope. I used to climb on it all the time. Too much strech for me now.
I replaced it with Yale's blaze rope. Climbed on that for a couple 3 years and now like New England's Tachyon. Sold as Lava through sherrill arb supply. Many nice features. Among my them, nice hitch responsiveness (with vt), low stretch, soft, no milking, which allows both ends to be spliced. Still have blaze at work but will replace with this rope when needed. The double splice is nice allows the use of two vt's when double crotching in conjunction with a micro mouse pully or hitch climber (if you prefer to spend the money for it).
I also use the 9/16 stable braid for larger pieces or whe the GRCS is being used. I have not found the need for a 5/8 rope yet (16,300lbs tensile 1630 wl).
It wasnt cool what she did. I made sure that she paid her share for both trees. if you know what I mean

I will have to look more into that.
Good to here some good word about it, I have seen it in the catalog i like the fact that both ends can be spliced.
The 5/8'' what bough\t specific for one job that probably could have gotten by with the 9/16th, but at the time I only had 1/2'' so I went over kill for it.
Now it pretty much just sits around...doesnt get to much use.
A guy I used to work with bought a bunch of heavy rigging equipment for a job. Spent a bunch. Then the job fell through. Poor guy. I didnt feel so bad for him though. I offered my equip. but he didnt want nothing to do with it. Oh well. All of the equip sits in his shed now.

Ah that is a horrible story.
I bought the 5/8th and I felt very confident had done with work the customer in the past. I was planning on using the rope has my main rig line but it is soo heavy....It has more then paid for it self though.
--Try this, For moving reasonably round logs over the ground.
lay an 18 foot rope on the ground and roll the log over one end,
Now tie the ends together with a sheet bend knot, back off and overhand pull on the rope and the log will roll.\\
Steering is done by walking the loop down the log or with a hooked tip pickaroon , available from Peavy Manufacturing --Eddington. Main.
To roll over a BIG log , tie a rope to a spike or stub.
Now, wrap the rope around the mid point of the log several times, tight and parallel' the rope comes over the top ,Now pull. truck, tractor , block & tackle-
whatever
Suggestion, When rolling a log and you need to change direction,
Lay a two foot piece of 2'' PVC pipe at right angles to the center of the log
NOW roll the log onto the pipe,This gets the ends off the ground.
Pivot the log and off you go
Linear Mode
