[quote=Rocky_LC;3250014]I was out "practicing" with my winch ("new to me" Warn 8752) today. I found a shallow hill, spooled about 75' of cable, hooked my "tree saver" to the base of a big oak tree, and tried to winch my truck up the hill.

I got a little nervous as I saw the tight line crushing down on the line that was not spooled in as tightly. I saw things in there that looked scary, like line bulging up, birdcaging, etc.



If you saw stuff like that, it is possible and likely that you now need a new winch cable.
