Default Pulling large wire in conduit

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.

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

Electricians have nifty motor drive wire pullers to make pulls like this
easy.


Rentable? Will consider that next time...

Thanks,

Actually what you actually did is probably better; more hassle but less
damage to the conductors (insulation).
