ad-closed Continuous Rope Puller / Winch WANTED

[Darrell]

I have a couple of trees to cut down that are a bit too near the house for comfort. Looking to buy a good working roper puller somewhere within a reasonable drive of Crossville. 

Thanks for looking!

Are you talking about a block and tackle

We use a truck to pull with and a 120 foot cable. If not enough room to lay out the cable we will use a snatch block to the base of a tree to get a good angle to help the tree along like we want. We have tried a tractor but it did not move fast enough, almost lost a tree a few weeks ago.

No, though I suppose that would work pretty well, too.  A continuous rope puller looks like a come-along, but it works with any length of rope. One threads the rope through the puller and it can pull any length.  The advantage over a cable is that the rope will stretch and provide tension.

I looked it up, did not know such a thing was out there.

I have lots of practice pushing rope, but I don't have a puller.
