Yep it is,we found that it is really good for the larger timber drops, very strong unit, have had it slip up trees before

,so now we cut out a lip so it can sit into the tree base.(acefrictiondrum is only the pic file name)

the 3 strand poly does pig tails up,you have to walk the rope right out,but 3 strand is cheap and it smokes up well when lowering big timber down(gloves are handy sometimes)
we go through a bit of rope in a year.Yep... bloody BIG timber,got 2 large Euc's coming up soon, will get some pic's to show before and after.
