What tool to tension 1000 ft. of steel cable between 2 trees? Comealong didn’t work -OR- full size john deere

Hi Everyone!

A 1000′ span is really long. I think you have unrealistic expectations of how tight you can get the cable. The tension of the cable is going to be massive if you don’t have enough sag. (can you say “banjo”)

What are you using to anchor the two ends?

3/8″ galvanized steel cable has a breaking strength of around 14850 lbs and a safe working load of 2970 lbs.

An extra 200 lb person in the middle of the span is going to generate huge tension forces on the cable and points of attachment.

The fact that the come-along and tractor were not sufficient should be telling you something. The typical come-along is rated at tensions near the safe working load of the cable.

I’m a bit concerned that you might be a future Darwin Award runner-up.
