The pulleys are fastened to the base of another big tree by using a sling or chain which wraps around the tree and the pulley hooks onto the other end of the sling. So we need to use pulleys fastened to other trees to change the direction of the rope. Working on a mountainside it can be difficult to find a path long enough to drive on and still have enough room to be far enough from where the tree will land. Each rope was tied to a different place for optimal pulling strength and straightness.įor dead and leaning trees it’s safer to pull with 2 ropes to help prevent it from breaking apart to soon and to keep it from twisting and falling off to the side. Then we fastened our 2 heavy duty pulling ropes to the tree by using a bow-line knot in each rope. We drove our bucket truck towards the tree and its boom reached about half the way up it. It completely covers the nylon core helping to protect it. Its polyester sheath is covered with an urethane coating to protect against rough surfaces like tree limbs and rocks or debris on the ground.
The Bull rope has a nylon core with built in resistance to moisture, sunlight, oil, and tears. It has 3 strands braided together, and is extremely abrasion resistant, which makes it great for using natural branch crotches for rigging to lower limbs. This rope is especially designed for lowering limbs from trees but can also be used to pull them. The Samson Promaster rope is popular for rigging and pulling. We just needed to get the tree on the ground so it doesn’t fall down in a storm and tear down the power lines or hit the neighbors house.Ī Heavy Duty Pulling Rope That Can Be UsedĢ popular ropes for this type of work are a Samson Promaster 3 strand braided rope and a polyester Arborist Bull rope. We would put our ropes in the tree and pull it in that direction. The owners house was about 300 feet up the gentle mountain slope. It was located just off the road along the edge of the woods. The first big branches were about 40 feet high. The tree was about 120 feet tall and 45 inches in diameter at the base.
We would need to use our heavy duty pulling ropeĪnd tie it to a tractor to help pull the tree! This time we needed to cut down a massive dead ash tree that was leaning towards a road and the neighbors house across the road. While the easy tree removals can go fast, sometimes it can take quite some time to take every precaution to be sure everything is right before we start to cut on a big tree that is leaning the wrong way and toward a house. In our Tree Pruning and Removal business we have cut down thousands of trees and each one represents its own unique challenge! While some trees are easier than others to cut down, there will always be the difficult tree jobs that need a heavy duty pulling rope to pull the tree away from high voltage lines or a house and buildings or any other valuable property.
