Any time you have to feather a clutch you're cooking it.
I use arborist ropes for that type of ****.
The specs on one of my ropes is (going by memory) 15% stretch at 50% load.
That way you just pull the **** tight as you can and keep working on the stump or tree.
I'm pretty successful at the stuff. Dropping 100 foot trees between houses and fences.
Not damaging transmissions. All that ****. When I hear people paying $2000 to remove a tree, I cringe.
Gotta watch out for trees rolling off each other's canopy. That can be a fooler.
Please seat yourself.
I like the very things you hate.
