An amazing number of our parts, methods, and tools came from the trade- and not some pencil-neck geek sitting at a drafting table!

Yes no doubt but many times it is a fine line between an innovative way to do things and dangerous.

FWIW I like your pulling rig. [Linked Image] but I still advise against truck pulls if at all possible. To hard to be reliable controlled at the slow speeds needed.

For pulling out of hand holes and site poles I will cantilever a piece of rigid off my ladder racks with ratchet straps so it overhangs the rear of the truck. Hang a pulley from that then we can use a few guys hand pulling sideways instead of up from the ground. [Linked Image]
