Replacement winchline

[AKMark]

I've seen someone die with a steel cable. Were they using safe winching techniques? No. Was it moving a vehicle, no. It was pulling a horse drawn wagon onto it's trailer. It was a 2500 lb ATV winch (those wagons aren't all that heavy) and there was no winch weight. The Winch was mounted on the trailer with a wired lead to the truck cab. The guy in the cab running the system literally lost his head. The cable went through both front and rear windows of the topper, both front and rear windows of the cab, and cut both front cab arms (that go along the windshield from the roof to hood level).

The guy we worked for switched to a nylon strap in his winch when we got home two days later.

It's worth the few extra bucks for a safer line. But that's my opinion.
