Sounds good. That, and be precious about how the cable lays on the drum.

Just realised this one chokes as on itself. J1 New England Style Choker WWW.CHRISFORESTRY.CO.UK Wallingford's Golden Bell Chokers. Made in New Hampton USA. Light and durable. J1 chokers are made with a ferrule on one...

The hook on Jonno's existing cable will clip to the eye? And he'll need a choker chain as well to grab the timber. Alternative way would be fit a slider to existing cable and use with choker chain.

Excellent.

Doesn't look bad to me. The swivel just helps allow the cable to untwist better, even a length of rope between anchor and hook would help. I don't think the fraying is significant, openspaceman may disagree, much more knowledgeable than I.

Thanks Steve.

Pop up some photos so we can see.

I just looked at a different listing and it shows the 'leave review' option. So apparently the site knows I left a review on one listing but doesn't seem to show it?

Yes tried a few times. First attempt I thought I'd done it but it didn't show, subsequent attempts I don't see the option to leave review. It's possible I'm being thick, if so I apologise.

@Steve Bullman In case you missed this, can't leave reviews on freelancer register.

I don't think overloading would cause this but maybe been laid back on the drum loosely, got twisted and the subsequent wraps on top squished it? It doesn't sound like you'll be able to 'fix' it but you might improve things. For me it's good practice to regularly unspool the cable fully, inspect, and spool it back on the drum under slight tension. Preferred method for me (with tractor mounted winch) would be unspool fully, attach hook to something ideally incorporating a swivel, then let the winch pull the free wheeling tractor to the anchor to keep it under tension. Another thought is, I would always keep a wrap and a half or two wraps on the winch drum for security, if your damage is on the first 50cm it sounds like it gets fully unwound so if you spool it back in loose it's likely to twist up. Even holding it in your hand will help lay it back on neatly. In your situation I'd unspool fully, respool with tension making sure it was neat, then not unspool the damaged half meter in future.

It doesn't work. As some may remember I identified as a wee bus one Friday morning in a ranger towing a digger, but I still had to pay the bus lane fine.

Not a bad day here too courtesy of hiab, valtra and heizo.

@Steve Bullman Sorry me again, morning. Not sure if it's a glitch or user error but the other day I tried to leave a review on a listing in the freelancer register but it still shows no reviews, and I don't see the option to 'leave review' any more. If it's relevant I try to link to the listing I get this...

Morning all. Feels mild here, been too warm all night. Got a hiab coming for the day to finish (hopefully) the last few Leylandii on the endless connie job. Should be a good day and we'll be glad to see it finally finished. Have a good one folks.
