Don, how did you attach your rope to the tree? My question is, how do you avoid a knot that gets really tight when you pull forward?
I finished your invention, and tested it yesterday with just a half load since I only had a 200 pound test rope. Everything worked great. I have to make a small modification; since my unit is large and heavy I had added a handle to help put it in the cart, but I need to move the handle. If I had to do it all over I'd make the entire unit an inch narrower -- it's a bit tough to line up to put back in the cart. Also, I forgot to think about storage -- I should have hinged the front vertical board, and then could have removed the side 2x4 supports (I used bolts) and hinged the unit for easy inside storage. But other than that, it works great. I'll try to post pics shortly.
