Buying guide
Building a pulling system
A continuous rope puller grips the rope as you ratchet the handle, so you can pull long distances without re-rigging. A progress-capture pulley holds the rope between pulls, which makes a simple 3:1 or 5:1 pulley system practical.
Remember that more advantage means more force on the anchor and the tree. Use rated anchors, keep people out of the line of fire, and plan the fall before you start pulling.
Choosing a tree pulling kit
For pulling trees, many crews use a continuous rope puller or a simple pulley system with a progress-capture device. Rope pullers are fast to set and pull long distances, while pulley systems are light and use gear you already carry. A good tree pulling kit includes a rated anchor sling, the puller or pulleys, connectors and enough rope.
Mechanical prusik setups and progress capture devices hold tension between pulls. Keep everyone out of the line of fire if a component fails, and never pull more than the anchor and tree can handle. Train on setups at low loads before using them on a job.
Common questions
What is a 5 to 1 pulley system used for?
Arborists use it to pull trees in a chosen direction or tension lines. It multiplies pulling force but also loads anchors heavily.
