Connecting a choker chain to a tirfor cable hook?

[SteveA]

What are most people using to connect your logging choker chain to a Tirfor cable?.... I'm after something that will quick release, like a sliding keyhole.... are most people using a sliding keyhole on the Tirfor cable, or does that tend to kink the cable?

I've never seen this but if you find something ease post it up here.

 

I tend to use a round sling on the hook.

Get a chain lock thingy!

You get them on lifting chains for shortening them, the chain slides in sideways and locks.

Got to a place that sells chains, take your chocker and get 1 that fits and put a swivel locking hook on it.

Yeah, a sling works but not as easy to feed under a fallen tree as a choker chain.

This is what you need

Looks a bit much to stuff under a tree on the ground!

That stays on the tirfor end you only need the hook, how you attach it to your turner end is your choice, personally a swivel hook is easy, saves undoing shackles.
