Our mini choker gets worked again today. The tow machine was not worn out either.
You can buy them in different lengths.One issue I have with cable chokers is that there is usually too much slack [or length] remaining after choking the log and after winching in they will still drag; whereas a chain choker can be shortened up to the log butt and the winch will then lift the log off the ground for easier skidding.
This assumes that you are not skidding very large logs [30 inch +diameter] and are using an arch of some kind.
This is true.You can buy them in different lengths.
I see no sense in buying a bunch of wire rope chokers in different lengths, when I can just use a choker chain, that can easily be used in any of those same lengths, plus it's just so much easier to carry around.You can buy them in different lengths.
Although I agree with this statement I know that cable chokers have their place for certain applications.I see no sense in buying a bunch of wire rope chokers in different lengths, when I can just use a choker chain, that can easily be used in any of those same lengths, plus it's just so much easier to carry around.

I think using them on the big wood out west is more likely.Although I agree with this statement I know that cable chokers have their place for certain applications.
sure but not only that, I find cable less prone to slide off the bark when skidding multiple logs, less prone to unhook and easier to slide under heavy logs then chains.I think using them on the big wood out west is more likely.
