Treemaster rope

Treebeard

I had a question about the treemaster 3 strand rope and how it reacts to the rope puller: I've been using an old arbormaster blue streak climbing line with my rope puller for a while now with no probs, but I nicked it with my chainsaw the other day. So I figured I'd use my new hank of Stable braid in the rope puller, it worked fine for the several trees I tested it on for compatibility but just when I got comfortable with it and was pulling a oak above a shed it slipped on me several times. All worked out ok with the drop but I'm discontinuing use of the rope puller/ stable braid combo. So now I'm about to have to buy 200 ft of rope for my puller and it's a toss up between Sherrill's Treepro red or Wesspurs Treemaster. My question is will the Treemaster Kink or Hockle when run over the puller? It seems that the 3 strand line would twist as it's being pulled on while the 12 strand line would not. Is it a big deal if it does twist and will it damage the rope?

Err, what sort of rope puller, you got a picture or something as I'm not sure what you are doing.

Samson makes tree master, but Wespur is one of few dealers who sell the 5/8 version. This rope has a 12,500 lb. rating and for a 5/8" hard lay rope , thats hard to beat. IMO, it is unsurpassed as far as a natural crotch rope,and it works very well as a puller line. Very low stretch. DO IT!!!
