    Sorry for the sideways pics I’m on my cellphone and can’t for the life of me figure out how to rotate them.

Once unrolled we discovered that 500ft of 2" mainline has more friction force than the pulling force of 2 strong guys! In a few spots we could get the truck, ATV or tractor to help pull it but in most places all the could do was break it up into smaller pulls.

    We still have 1000 feet of steel and 1" mainline to put up plus about 20 rolls of 5/16 to stretch before winter. Lots to get done!
    I know how you feel. 2” in coils pulls mean. If you have a road or field, uncoil the whole roll first with an atv then take it into the woods. It helps.
    I used to think 2” was the hardest pulling stuff ever. Till we started doing 3/8” cable. And 3” pipe. And 4” pipe. The 4” is the worst. It weighs 2lbs per foot so a 500’ length is 1000lbs, half a ton. We put 4-5 guys on it and try real hard to always pull downhill.
