Thanks! It is a great method with minimal equipment but requires certain things of the site like trees for anchoring and a sufficient slope down from the landing.
Yes, thats is right. Same is true for the distance the carriage will travel down the main cable before lowering the hook. That is why I had to put a bunch of extra weight on the carriage and hook. It will depend on the incline, weight of ropes and rigging. To stop the carriage at a desired spot one can mount a shackle on the main cable at the desired location and hold it in place via a length of rope which is secured to a stump or tree. This acts as a bumper. When the carriage hits it the rope which acts as both the lifting - and pull rope will keep being fed out (given there is enough weight on it) but instead of the carriage traveling down the main cable the hook will then be lowered. In this case the weight was not sufficient and the carriage did not make it to the bumper but stopped when the weights/forces shifted so that the hook was lowered instead.
Your stump was way to high you should of cut lower & that’s not how we do are cuts in west coast Canada I also could of pulled that tree out of that spot with my ford truck but your system would work good me & clever old logger moved a 1200 pound burl out 300 feet up a bank with a system like that we rigged up If you had a stump like that hear you would not have a job tho
@@HubertofLiege ok I just sed we did that on a burl with cables this product is a wast of money & your stump is still to high buddy & why ? Just make a pole truck out of a old ford then that would be cheaper way more practical Why did you leave a high stump you never answered that
@@MAGACANADIAN it’s a novelty video, someone not being serious just figuring out how to get his firewood up the hill. Obviously he has some experience in logging, or watched a few UA-cam tutorials, and used what he had to get it done. Who knows why he high stumped that tree, maybe there is a purpose other than just cutting it down. I thought it was smart and interesting.
I didn't see, but maybe the high stump is his tail hold. If you know anything about cable yarding, I would know why. Source:hooked and rigged highlead and skyline shows. 44 years in the logging industry.

Super nice and clever setup!

that is really neat , great work guys !
Thanks Daniel!
Hell yeah
Looks neat, Is the amount of cable let out from the carriage just controlled with the weight of the rigging?
