Couple of things about winches, there is a "required distance that fair lead needs to be from the drum of the winch" to allow it to aid in wrapping the cable evenly on the drum each and every time. All tow trucks, even more so the older cable boom trucks had a set distance from the drum to the fairlead then out to the work or the boom sheave then to the work. The reason the cable is painted red is to indicate you are reaching the "bitter end" (yes, that's what it's called) the end of the cable where the "constricted load" is applied to the winch drum. Once you see that, you will lose all pulling force because the constrictive load is removed and the cable will come free regardless of the wimpy anchor tab. So now do some research and find out how far out your fairlead needs to be from your winch drum to enable it to properly relay the cable when under load.. A google search should do the trick.. Fibre core cable is intended to "keep you alive" , the more tension on that cable the more pull it will have. Now as for "keeping you alive", should that cable break under load it will drop to the ground where as steel core cable will "spring back" when it fails, taking heads, arms, legs and idiot bystanders with it when it goes. In keeping with the phrase." every action has an equal and opposite reaction " yeah that applies to winching anything at any time. Top Tip, spray your winch cable with graphite spray cable lube to keep the core happy and offer a bit of water resistance to the center cable fibers and extend cable life... Cheers

Word to the wise. Safe working load, means safe working load!. From the time you install the cable, to the time you take it out of service, its safe working load, is what it is rated for. The safety factor to breaking strength is to allow for wear and tear of use. If you use a 3,700 lbs safe working load wire, on a 12,000 lbs winch, the wire will deteriorate and fail. The range between 3,700 lbs Safe working load, and the breaking strength, is the safety factor. You are defeating the safety factor. Bad idea!. The reason the original wire core cable was stiffer, was because it had more wire strands, ie. the wire rope core. More strands means more strength. The other factor in wire rope construction, is the type of material used to make each strand of wire. There are many grades of steel used like "IPS" which means Improved Plow Steel. If there is an "E" in front, it means Extra. There are cable that are made with XXXIPS ratings. Always use a cable that has a safe working load rating at, or higher, than the pulling capacity of a winch.

Synthetic rope requires regular removal from the winch for cleaning just about every time you use it. Dirt and sand gets into the fibers and has to be removed. Also, even if you don't use the winch, dirt and sand gets kicked up and captured in the rope while on the spool. But both had their advantages and disadvantages. If a perfect material existed, we wouldn't have steel or synthetic rope to choose from.

The gears need to be taken apart and thoroughly lubed with Mos2-Grease. They are sturdy, but lack grease and sometimes clearances and fittings are wrong and should be worked over bevore they're worn out. Then it's a lot of value for the money. But 12000lbs with this underrated cable, that's just life-threatening. More max. pull than breaking load, better only use it with wireless remote control and stay away.

If you value your safety don't go with synthetic rope. It needs to be washed constantly it breaks constantly it breaks down in the Sun and the dirt and needs constant maintenance no matter what. There is a reason steel is industry standard and I personally know a towing company who tried synthetic on their trucks and they have nothing but problems when they snap constantly. Sure you can leave it back together but you don't have to do that with steel rope cuz you don't have those issues.

Keep your line nicely spooled. Spook out before you pull hard. Best way to spool is to spool out and pull yourself back with a light load on the winch. Use your brakes lightly until you feel the winch start to work. Line will nicely spool onto the drum as long as you are square to what you’re pulling on

Steel Cable/Wire with a WLL rating has a safety factor of 5 to 1 when used for lifting. This is used for pulling, where the recommended safety factor is 2. So, this 3780 lbs WLL fiber core cable has a braking limit of 5x 3780 = 18900 lbs divided by 2 for a maximum allowable pulling force of 9450 LBS. In other words, you are over the recommended minimum safe working load limit for a straight line pull on that winch by 2550 lbs

I believe that you mis-quoted the braking strength (3,500 lbs) of this cable. Pardon me if I am wrong, but it reads that this cable's breaking strength is 20,400 lbs. I've got this from comments on Amazon: There is a national SAEJ standard that specifies a ratio specific to Towing and Recovery procedures for wire rope. SAEJ959. This code states that the ratio of 3.55:1 is to be used for all wire rope used on a towing and recovery unit. WLL on this product is 5,700lbs and a MBS of 20,400lbs.

Or if you get it wet you're supposed to unroll the whole thing and dry it properly. And it degrades from sunlight. It has good properties. But I noticed that it has alot more disadvantages than advantages.

Now that I'm back home in New Hampshire sometimes I miss having the wide open to put up what I want and do what I want but man, watching this vid reminds me how much I missed trees when I was out there. Anyway, not mentioned and definitely not applicable to the cable end that you lugged, cutting wire rope WHERE THE ENDS WILL BE ON THE DEAD SIDE is easier with an ox/acet torch. Just melt, don't hit the trigger and the strands and dross will meld together. It ruins the cable end for strength and tensility but if it's going to end up on the dead side of a crosby clamp then it beats tape and grinding and it stays glued together.

Lol you have your winch setup exactly like I do. Its on a receiver tray with 350 amp anderson connectors and everything. Only the solenoid box I havent modified yet. Going to have to politely disagree on the synthetic rope though. After using 3 or 4 different synthetic ropes I know 3 things. 1. One synthetic rope is not necessarily the same as another. 2. Synthetic rope is not perfect, though my newest one may be. 3. I will never go back to any form of steel cable. The safety and ease of handling is just second to none. I have used both and never liked steel. I have a synthetic rope that is very very abrasion resistant and it is totally worth it. The rope itself is completely wrapped by an abrasion resistant material. It is tight, not loose like second hand covers you can put over the rope. Plus I modified a couple fairlead rollers in case I have to go over a rock or dirt. Abrasion issues are pretty easy to beat but they do take a little thinking. As for all that equipment marred by steel cable. Well all those pulleys etc can be sanded and polished a bit to take the burs off that the steel cable put there. It is not a huge deal though a good lathe can make it really fast. Agree with using a shorter cable. Just really appreciate the fact that the synthetic is quite a bit stronger than that steel cable and it is a lot safer. Id rather have that over the price and the wear issue of replacing it more often. It is just so much easier to manage.

For most of the use it, abuse it, and forget it crowd a good stainless steel cable is better. As stated if you are winching over rocks and crap all the time then a good SS cable is better. I run cable on my truck. I have rope on my 4 wheelers because its lighter. I use and inspect it regularly. I can splice it with a pocket knife and a bic pen. My issue is most class 3 hitches (most common) you see these winches on is only rated to pull a 6k trailer. 10k with a trailer weight distribution system, none of the plug and play winch plates I've seen have that . Even a class 4 is only 10k (14k with distribution system). Only a class 5 is rated for 12k. Remember even if you only have a 8k winch a snatch block effectively doubles that possibly leaving you putting a 16k load on that class 3 hitch.

your working load rating needs to be equal to the max load/ pulling load of the winch. Your cable will begin to fail/stretch before the breaking strength rating. Once it's been stretched (beyond the working load) it loses its max break strength. In other words, load that sucker 6-8 times at 8-9k lbs and it will fail well below its as-delivered breaking strength. Why? Metal fatigue. Same reason you never want to hook a cable to itself (choker config). When fastening a rope (steel or fiber) to itself you reduce its load capacity.

Jerry Dandridge gold from home Depo would of been RIGID brand, I was impressed with mine for many cuts. When it needed replacing (abused n bent while not in use) home Depo had the diablo brand 2-pack 4.5 in. diamond blades for $15, same I paid for the single old rigid. Seems no different so far, just got the Lennox version but haven’t even tried it yet.

jive turkey -- Best and easiest is a 25 pound 'Danforth Anchor' . The harder you pull on the Shank the deeper the flukes dig . To remove it , you just drive over it flipping the Shank over and pulling the flukes out backwards . Works Great !

Buddy of mine bought that winch, after 8 months it stopped working when water got inside the motor and it stopped working and only worked when he hit it with a wrench constantly

Sicktrickintuner the biggest killer to winches is lack of use Saves to run the winch in and out a few times a year Found out the hard way myself It's actually rain and condensation that does the most damage not necessarily driving though deep water

looks a _LOT_ like the original Harbor Freight winches, I have one and while the fairlead you have is superior, the winch looks just like mine.

I'm debating to do the same replacement for my Badlands 9k winch. But thinking about 75'. Would you suggest 70 or 75 ft?

I have a Badlands 9,000 winch and thought about changing out the cable. Does the place you bought your new cable have a little higher capacity cable?
@GuyinWY
@GuyinWY 6 жыл бұрын
BA makes all different sizes of cable, but you could actually go with a smaller cable on a 9,000 lb winch.

Messy but if you grease your cable you'll cut down on wear of sheaves etc.Down side is if you work in sandy conditions and grease picks up the sand and it will cause some cable wear.How's the new holland doing with the new injectors and are you going to keep it now? If it's fixed now I'm happy for you.
