Who still uses their 45 for work? (1 Viewer)

[LT1-62]

This may sound a bit woos*ss, but if I was doing that, I'd have put a chain between the rig and rope. Ropes have a lot of tension in these situations, and if they break, they have a lot spring force that heads right at the tiedown. A co-workers son lost his life from a stretched cable (not a rope though) breaking. A chain will absorb most of the rope stretch if it breaks. Woos*assnes over.

Not woosiness, a fair bit to go wrong with that situation. There was noone within reach of the rope other than me in the cab though, and the rope used was low stretch soft braid with 4800kg breaking strain so was pretty comfortable with breaking risk. Less comfortable with tree heading the way of the lean and taking me for a ride though, hence why was reversing versus towing. Recoil of wire rope is scary

Even after the rebuild the old man still has work to do. Yesterday I left 2720 lbs at the scrap yard.

I need to fill my dump trailer with scrap and haul it.

What was it worth?

It was $6.00 a hundred so it was a grand total of $163.20.

Not sure. It’s got 2x6 joist every 16 in mitered in and battons every 20 in and joist hangers to beams.
