this is the first winch for me so looking for some info, I would like to be able to pull logs plus pull out the other dozer when it happens to get stuck, or other equipment if needed. this one has a log arch on it,and does have free spool.
unit is rated for one inch cable,should I go with 7/8 so it is easier to pull out, what about a swaged 3/4 ??? 7/8 is rated for 78000lbs breaking strength,swaged 3/4 same, 1 inch is 103000lbs what would you go with?
how long should the cable be?
how would you set up the hook, loop end. button with a chain, loop, or a big ring on the loop, would like to be able to put on a few chokers and be able to pull of if needed for a stuck machine.
what else can a winch be used for other then pulling logs and stuck equipment??
