Synthetic Rope Install with Harbor Freight 2500lb Badlands ATV Winch

[@richardguntrum7251]

My rope came from Harbor freight with shrink wrap on it but it was too big. I’m glad I found your video. That is just the way you did work great thank you very much.

Heat shrink can work good too

[@hermitrob5481]

He tried that! Did you actually watch the video?

[@bentleyrichardson4283]

HEAT SHRINK WORKS GREAT

[@christopher4091]

Great video but I barely could hear you with the music!

[@benkanobe7500]

A later thought.......... Would using electrical Shrink Wrap do the job?

[@unoefxz]

They now sell the synthetic cable made for this winch at HF.

[@neilschwartz771]

Great idea and, yes heat shrink also works, good thinking!

[@terryhites1]

Great video! I’m probably going to be replacing my cable with this rope! Maybe

[@adamkersey7121]

You don't say what size rope you are using or how many feet you're able to put on 😢

I just had someone swap out the steel cable that came on my Badland 2000 pound utility trailer winch with the ATV Synthetic Rope. But the woven wrap that encases the synthetic rope is much too big and tends to ball up on the winch. Is the woven wrap necessary? What purpose does it serve? Can it or maybe half of it be eliminated?

I made the mistake of not "loading" the synthetic rope on mine and it broke the first time out. Look up a video on how to load the rope properly to avoid my mistake :)

Picked up the 2500 Badlands yesterday, and a synthetic rope (25'). Really appreciate finding your video. Will look for the stopper that you mentioned. How do you like the synthetic rope, after a couple years ?

[@northeasternokie2004]

You can also cut off a rubber mallet to make your own stopper!

[@RockTheJourney]

What a G! Great idea bro

[@KyleMehrer]

Man this worked great thank for the video

[@markcollins5026]

Man, nice would of been better without the crummy music 🎵 !

[@benkanobe7500]

Where did you purchase the rope and how long is it? Great job!

[@iamsuperbleeder]

Thank you! Amazon. It was one of the most inexpensive options. But it's not like getting my ATV unstuck has every been a life or death situation, so I didn't feel I needed to break the bank. It's a 50 foot length.

[@benkanobe7500]

@@iamsuperbleeder Thanks, much appreciated

[@jayl5978]

No need for the knot to hold the rope that's what the Allen screw is for

Music makes it difficult to hear you. Any music you use should be at 50% volume level, rule of thumb. Thanks for the info

[@pedroarellano8300]

What size rope did you install

[@iamsuperbleeder]
