If ya just keep adding to 1 post, like reply to your own thread with more pics its easier to follow.

But they are cool pics, so keep em coming!
It doesn't like the big drop loads, which has bent the pig tail lop,needs to be a bit stronger and thicker steel rod pig tail lop.We had to make a steel box to keep it all together(a lot of connecting parts),needs to except more rope sizes (bigger & smaller),but it is still a top unit for raising limbs and pulling trees over, it can be used on different trees instead of being at the base of the drop zone.We have 2 different Units(grcs & Friction Drum) which we select the on the day that we think will work the best.The Friction Drum is very good for big timber drops and rope running,Grcs is best for lifting power, combine the too and it would be a nice unit... 2 for 1.
