Replacing winch cable and pulling a tree over

[@southernadirondackoutdoors]

Good video! I liked the cutting down the red maple part where supervision was required to keep you from doing something not smart! 🤣 I had to replace the cable on my uniforest winch. I took one look at it and decided to take it to the dealer who is only 15 minutes away. It was such a rats nest that they had to use cutting wheels and torches to get the old one out. I did learn a lesson on how NOT to use a winch from that experience 😁

Thanks. One big advantage to a synthetic line is no rats nest.

Very helpful video, I need to do the same with my wallenstein winch. Thanks

[@timberterra]

Appreciate the comment. Thank you.

As you wound the cable onfor the first time you should have had some weight on it so it does not all twist up on the winch drum. I could see it is twisted before you even get to use it.

I did not notice any twisting, but perhaps there is. I thought winding it under load before its first "real" use was sufficient. We'll see.
