Looks big enough to me.

A good size cable and snatch block would double your numbers.

Yea, but it all becomes a question of what I can carry.. what does a 60,000 lb. pulley look like? How big of a cable?

edit: gotta love google. apparantly they use 7/8 cable for 60,000 lb. roll-off dumpsters.

Dragging around a 7/8 cable is a pain you might wanna use spectra line, it is stronger than same diameter steel and wont rust, just dont get it hot and us have to splice it as most knot wont work.

I think if it gets to that point I'll just break down and start up the old John Deere.. Maybe I'll get one of those snaggle-tooths for it, like Island's got.

I believe I read "21 TONS" on the double pulley at this tower site.

Just ordered some grade 70 1/2" chain to use doubled. That hurt. At least it's made in the USA. It gets me to 22K# working load limit. I wonder how much safety factor they figure in..

Get yourself some grade 100 square cut chain. BEST thing I ever did. The edges of it will tighten on a log (or stump) and bite right in. This of course, is when using a choker.

Grade 100 Square-Link Choker Chain - Grade 100 Chain - Labonville Inc.

Nicely done!

Wow, now we're talkin'! Comments? How did it "feel"? Was it maxed out? Was that size stump nuthin' for it?

Edit: I can tell you right now that, unless that had been rotting for several years or more, that's way bigger than my 40HP Kubota could push, pull, FEL curl, or 3PH lift out of the ground.
