Rope Rigging video By TheXman

[Adam Bourne]

thank you about the music response. i think i might now make another version with no music.

 

about the earth anchors. The one we used was a duckbill D88 in rope rigging I.

 

cost about $30 US.

 

sorry, don't know the conversion.

 

but sacrificial amount of money easily. you can't get them out, easily.

 

the 88 is good for average of 3,000 lbs in normal soil.

 

there is now a bigger one. MUCH bigger in size. called a model 138, hold 9,800 lbs in most soil!

 

One is about $35 I think.

 

comes with the anchor, plus a short cable section with an eye and thimble.

 

nice one for the responce X, be sure to post the new video, and thanks for the last.......

 

also thanks on the ground anchor reply will look into our side the pond....

hey, we use those ground anchors for holding trees in place that have fallen over, or very large tree planting.

 

Like i said, the D88 was used in the video, but much larger one is available, I'll search for my cell phone picture of the size difference.

[theXman]

okay, found the picture. I will attach it.

 

the "small" one in picture is the D88 you saw in the video. Look how big the other one is.

 

these things hold GREAT! I tried to pull a D88 out of the ground once, thought if we pulled backwards, we could do it, put the truck in 4 low and tried.... couldn't get it to pull out.

 

I order them from Arborist Supplies | Tree Climbing Equipment| Home | American Arborist Supplies tell them David from Arbor-X sent you

 

hmmm, I only see "please enter URL of image", are you telling me there is no way to upload an image?

There is also a platipus ground anchor, very similar design but it has wings so it's wider in the ground. Two big blokes couldn't even pull a small one out, rated to 150kgs with 2mm wire!
