Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
You know I saw on Soni's thread he used a small pony winch on top of his big one, to spool it out. I think it was 1/4 cable? Sure would beat pulling that heavy cable that far.In my mudding pics in the convo section. Thats why i bring along a bigger out of shape friend who needs the workout and doesn't mind getting dirty.
If i am on a recovery I make them drag the straps out then they can pay me for getting them unstuck.

I am debating on using 5/8" or 3/4" cable. $350 for 250ft or $520 for 250'. I know 3/4" is rated for 53k
What's the difference in weight of each; do you know off-hand?And I thought handling 1/2" is work. I can't imagine 3/4" being any fun at all.

I considered using larger cable,but since I was re-spooling 3 winches(760 feet!),I went with the 5/8, if I ever need extra capacity,I always carry 2 single sheave snatch blocks in every truck.I am debating on using 5/8" or 3/4" cable. $350 for 250ft or $520 for 250'. I know 3/4" is rated for 53k
I have crawled under my truck a few times to look for certain things and I am always like "what idiot did that?"Dropped my front drive line on the M923A2 due to the vibrations at 40+. Found the mystery leak that made it loose prime..RRAD didn't tighten the copper fittings inside the frame before it connect to the rubber line (hope that did it).
