Thanks for keeping the ball rolling in this thread TM. My wife and I were correcting a bad lean the top of a red oak developed after a pine top landed in it during an ice storm several years ago. We are tieing it back to other larger trees.
Looking up at our work afterwards I realized just how much of a labor saver total SRT tree work is going to be.
Atached is a system used in the ISA TCC in Nashville in 2005 by Mark Chisholm.
Access is SRT but a complete DdRT system hangs off of the SRT line. The SRT line is over a crotch and tied off to a tree on the ground so it can be pulled down afterwards. The block in the photo rachets.
