Broke My Maasdam Rope Puller Yesterday (with video)
2021年10月2日 · I use the Maasdam Rope Puller all the time and have done so for the last 7 years since moving to my current home, meaning I've got a lot of experience with it. After a chainsaw, climbing gear, then wedges, it is probably the #4 most fundamental tool for the work I do; which involves a lot of doug fir felling in tight spaces.

2016年1月3日 · I most often rig the Maasdam for a 2/1 MA. It gets the puller person away from the drop zone plus gives it more pull. My main Maasdam rope is only 100ft. long but my 5/8 ropes are 150ft. I've got two Maasdams and gear enough to put both into action. Been using one 15 years or so and the other is newer. View attachment 35378
Maasdam Slipping - The BuzzBoard
2012年3月30日 · A daily part of my job is to pull trees over using a maasdam rope puller with Samson Tree master rope. Has anyone had problems with the rope slipping through the maasdam when its under load? We are using a brand new maasdam and a new rope that we got over the winter. In the past, our old (and well used) Tree master ropes and puller worked just ...

2012年3月30日 · Pulling the tail while using a Maasdam will result in loads of tension in the rope. Three strand will deform into a thin rope with less ridges. There is nothing wrong with the Maasdam, you just shouldn't use it "to the limit". Our first slipping moment was while pulling a 30 inch elm.

2016年1月3日 · It's a awesome tool. However, the rope that Treestuff recommends does slip as for my experience. I was pulling an oak that was leaning over a house and was probably past the 1500# limit and it slipped. Made me pucker. Also, once the rope gets worn from pulling, that worn spot slips like crazy.

2023年12月18日 · Good use of it for sure, and I see how and where it can be used quickly and easily in a number of other situations as well. That said, even in a 2-1 pull, it's still not as much force as a Maasdam Rope Puller (my favorite pulling device) at 1,500 pounds, and may only be closer to 1/3-1/2 as a Maasdam single line pull as the CMI in a double-line.

2024年11月27日 · Top line opposite lean will not help as it will be slack as soon as the tree begins to hinge. This needs to be done by an experienced professional. It will be very straightforward to rig down pieces under the canopy with that lean. I have done may removals pulling trees opposite of the lean with a Maasdam rope puller rigged as high as possible.
Samson 1/2" Stable Braid Bull Rope | The BuzzBoard
2024年4月25日 · I’m leaning the other way personally. Their 11mm would fit what I’m after better. I favor the 16 strand as an all around rope that natural crotches very well, anything bigger than 1/2” I rarely will natural crotch. Been loving 3/8ths double braid for light rigging but would prefer a smidge bigger and non double braid.
