Mongo said:I wouldn't use it in that app, but I can see it's purpose...it's all moot anyways, how many guy's double the pull and actually rig shit right. Can't tell you how many time's I've watched knuckleheads on single line pull...
Yes, chances are it will kill you and many others much like the shackle seventyfive has.nosivad_bor said:So is it bad to only single line pull? I usually use single line and don't double back to my bumper unless the object I am pulling out is extremely close.
If it stalls then I'd use the pulley, but it rarely stalls.

antichrist said:Another reason to use a double (or more) line pull is that it slows things down which can be a good thing many times.
garrett said:This isn't the way you should think about it. Doubling your line (back to your stuck truck) makes the winch work less, but will increase the load on your strap, shackle and snatch block. With that synthetic "recovery point" there seem to be many variables of its ratings. I want to know the rating of my gear and potentially the weakest link.
It's always a good idea to get as much line off the winch drum as possible. Your Husky is only rated at 10K on the first wrap on the drum. After that each layer on the drum reduces the pulling power by 10-15%.
A straight line pull is a good option in many cases if the pull isn't that severe and you can keep the pull straight. Once you start adding in resistance (slope, mud, etc) then you want to start thinking about using a snatch block.

antichrist said:I went back and read what I posted before and I'm pretty sure it's capacity will only be reduced by the weakest link, not the cumulative effect I described. But it will still be significantly less than the rating of the rope it's made from.
