Did what I planned yesterday, replaced a sheet of steel on a garage roof on our farmstead.
Also did as I planned, used my H Farmall with a loader as an anchor on the opposite side of the building and ran a half inch rope across the roof to hook into a heavy leather belt around my waist. Checked both the rope and snap ring on the end for working weight.
Then parked a pickup next to the building on the other side, with the ladder set in the box. adjusted the rope so the snap ring would stop about a foot short of the edge of the roof on the side I was working on. When I got to the top of the ladder, I hooked the snap ring into the belt around my waist. In the pic, the rope is just hooked to the top of the ladder so it was there when I wanted it.
Went ahead and did the work on the roof, and it was kinda slick at times. Don't know if I'd have had a problem, but it sure as heck was a comfort to have that rope hooked up to me.
