I have taken down many trees using cables and come-alongs to drop trees in the right location or avoid houses and other structures with my dad. Now that i am a home owner myself i am acquiring my own set of tools to take down trees around my house and realize i need a good cable to take them down.
Question is, where do you get cables strong enough to pull trees in the direction you need them to fall? and what rating does the cable need to have? My dad has a few old elevator cables that are amazingly strong that he picked up years ago and has no idea of the rated capacity, only that they are way more than we would need.
