Default Pulling large wire in conduit

If you had used all sweeps as John Ray suggested think of the fun you

Tried sweeps originally. Couldn't pull the wire. Changed to L's, and each
pull was do-able. Didn't know about keeping the wires parallel (no
cross-overs) which would have made the original attempt OK, probably.

I you mean cross-overs in the pipe, they can make a pull extremely hard.
In some cases could also probably damage the insulation.

Next time (!) I'm better armed with know-how.

We get too soon old and too late smart.
