    New to me Hallmark Chuchara....

    Which roof does it have, the newer 1 piece? (not sure when they started using them). They typically have a bow to aid with rain/snow melt run-off. We use a cordless drill with a 3/8" bolt (threaded end in the chuck, bolt head in the lift system) to raise ours, works great. Talk to Matt @...

In the picture i posted the pulleyes were dual sheeves allowing for 4 segments Of course all of these calculations are out the window if you're try to do a recovery on a Tuesday with more than 5 elephants in the area Sent from my...

    Only lines attached to the load or anchor point are included in the calculations. i.e. in a self recovery off of a tree, there is one line involved -1/1. If you run that line through a snatch block back to the winch, there's 2 lines between load and anchor - 2/1. Now I run from...

    Gross vehicle rating & payload
