I connect a chain around a fence post out in a paddock that has about a 5% slope on it, connect the winch hook to the chain, unspool the winch downhill with the park brake off and gearbox in neutral, till theres a few wraps left on the drum.. I arrange the cruiser so its steering directly to the fence post, then spool the line on.. I dont need to operate the steering and the cable takes care of laying itself onto the drum neatly.. The second vehicle method works well too.. The cable shouldnt need guidance if its running perpendicular to the drum and is in good condition..
