Some tension would be best to keep the cable from getting tangled. Fresh
cable is quite stiff and hasn't taken a set at the proper radius yet.
What
I've done in the past is hook the cable to a stationary object (mother in
law, tree, Jeep, etc.) and let the truck reel itself in at a fast idle.
Don't go answer the phone inside the house without keeping an eye on it
or
you could end up with a mess!

***** Seems I saw something like that happen in the movie form Australia
"The Gods must be Crazy". Seems to me I remember the Landrover ending up
in a tree. Steve
