Hah I just realized welding rebar to eyelets at top of pole is easy quick and I’ve already got everything. Also minimal bending

It has to be secure on both ends otherwise load stay on ground. If there isn’t tension across pulley then there’s no point of the pulley. Tension happens when the force is applied to both ends.

Oh ok I savvy. I’m a mechanic & roofer by trade and cattle rancher by birth none of which require complex pulley system knowledge. I appreciate the insight I’ll have to see if cAn source one those locally. I’m otw the beef patch this afternoon to finish rigging whatever it ends up being today...

I already have 100’ of 3/8 braided polyester cord rated for 600lb of load. 30lb force to lift aint 16:1 MA. But thank goodness I put my big girl panties on every morning (their 15lb with no MA involved) 😂 Collar? I’m not sure I understand? Strap attaching lowest part of load to pole?

Your right you don’t. It’s not so much about mechanical advantage over the 100lb load. It’s not about having exactly correct diagram of pulleys, the rope tensions or their relations to each other or varying pulley angles created . It’s not about having most MA possible. Its about keep the load...

Yes correct. But that only happens after all loads are suspended. And as I pointed out p6/3 is a load and raises1st. Right? And my requirements are it be stable lifted, withstand moderate to high winds and raise and lower in the middle of poles. I had same 6 pulleys on single pole version but...

Yes closer to lifting limit height the MA will completely disappear. But once it’s raised and off ground all I have to do is stop pulling it up when it gets heavier

Slack like unused rope used to raise load. Well it’s a deer feeder and it doesn’t refill itself so load has to be dropped and doing so at 6:1 rope length the amount of rope to lift load makes a lot of slack when is laying on ground. And when u re raise load slack with be pulled out of pulleys in...

I saw that page and it’s very informational and even found 32:1 MA that’s super easy to make but not sure even if I make overhead solid anchor point if it has room to pull slack out. Poles are already set so that’s only thing I’m not willing to undo/ redo

I’m reading “ Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance” May not be exactly within boundaries of (stem) category ... classic tho

Start looking for an apartment with steel framed door. Most braces won’t stand up to this

Ahhh👍🏻 well those are definitely pvc (1-1/2” ; 2” ; 3” ;4” etc.. ) vents that supply sewer drain air relief for anything that drains to city connected water supply in #6 comment 💯 right

Is that what he was referring to because that’s not clear from anything I read? Or just what someone else posted picture of? maybe Texas jack or a one way HE water heater? Or chimney even 😂

If you post picture of exactly what you what identified I’ll answer with the exact answer 😂 or vent for a gas appliance, vent-a-hood for stove top Few others that off the top of my head escape me

ok I do see that p6& p3 offset each other in the entire system, but unfortunately when pulling rope you can’t isolate parts of the system. And no I don’t believe these will pull evenly. Say the load, rope slack and p6/p3 all laying on ground and I start pulling, 4:1 system but it’s using 6:1...
