I have some pics to post of the chokers from Bailey's. I have read a few posts about dangerous cables, etc and yes, they will break and snap but so will chains. I live in a logging community in NE Oregon and I talk to loggers, my friends are loggers, and I live next to loggers and ALL of them use chokers and not chains, ropes or straps. Whether they buy locally or order from an online company, they all use choker cables in various configurations and lengths. Yes, the cables will get frayed from rocks but they are much cheaper than chains and gloves (as I am sure all of us wear) will save your hands.
The first is the 12' choker I have and it is 2 years old. I have skidded more logs than I can remember and it is a little frayed but will last many more years.
