    Will try this system. Thanks for showing the correct way. I got a heavy dolly to load up so instead if lifting the low end into vehicle I thought why not use the hinge as anchor and do a pully system. I was going to use another bully on Pinole with a Prusik knot for break. For $16 why not get a complete kit with a brake already. I like that brake because once the heavy end is up I can release brake and push into cargo area, giving slack as I go and let it roll in front wheels. Great deal. Price some rope, 2 dbls w/ attached brake that is a great deal

    Great tutorial, was tired of breaking my back skinning coyotes so I picked one of these up this weekend. Your instructions make perfect sense and saves so much time over tying off to a branch, etc. Thanks so much from a NV hunter.

    Nice video. I can not figure out this 2:1 or 4:1 mechanical advantage stuff. lol. Does anyone know what the amount of force would be I would have to pull down on the rope in order to lift say a 100 point item? Would lifting a 100 lbs using this pulley system require the ability to pull 50 pounds? If it's 50 lbs, I may need to get a different pulley system as I can only lift comfortably around 20 lbs. I'm disabled, and not looking to left anything heavy. Thanks for any input.

      @@Chase1399Aviation I apologize for the late response...
      the block and tackle used in my demonstration, would be considered a 4:1 ..
      ie. In the block and tackle itself are 4 ropes that are supporting the load and 1 lead rope.. so in simple terms, for every 1 lb of force applied to the lead rope would be 4 lbs applied to the load. So in your example of a 100lb load, you would need to apply 25lbs to the lead rope in order to lift your 100lb load.
      That is "in theory", but doesn't take Into consideration things like rope stretch or other very small variables.
      But in general, you should be able to lift your 100lb load with approximately 25lbs of force.
      In a 2:1 example you would need 50lbs to lift 100lbs.
      I hope they made sense enough to answer your question!

      In the normal configuration, you pull down to lift the load with a 4 to 1 mechanical advantage. This also means moving 4 times as much rope.
      I plan on using the hoist to pull some 4 by 8 foot sheets of lumber up to a second floor balcony. They are too awkward to carry up a ladder, but they may not be heavy enough to justify that 4 to 1 ratio.
      I might opt for more speed by untying the knot from the top block, pulling the end of the rope off of one of the bottom pulleys and tying it to the bottom block. This would give a 3 to 1 advantage.
      Buy using progressively fewer pulleys, I can reduce the amount of rope I need to use to move each board. Two of the boards are much thinner, and therefore much lighter.
      Note that I am not even lifting the boards straight up, I am using a makeshift ramp. So the slope of the ramp gives a bit more mechanical advantage, and means I have to use even more rope. I bought a long enough rop

      Harbor freight lists the weight to 440 lbs.. so it would depend on the weight of the pig, but I do know that there's been around 550-600 lbs actually being used on it.
