  4. With it through two holes with a 16mil line I found it ok even on some pretty small stuff and enough for some fairly big stuff when I used 12mil line it seemed to have allot less friction on the bigger pieces Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  5. Depends on how many holes you thread the rope through and the diameter of the rope you are using bigger rope more friction more holes more friction I don't think without using it it's possible to understand fully it's usefulness i spend 90 percent of my time taking trees down and working with different ground crews every day some times being able add some friction in the system is really helpful lads with less experience lowering seem to be able to get letting stuff run smoothly dialed in much easier than with a bollard it's not a replacement but another aid that really helps with production and a smooth safe job 🖒 Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
