Hi
Keep the truck aimed straight on to the load when winching. Or have a
spotter watch the drum and then pull in stages after releveling the
drum.

Don't ya just love all my questions??? ;-)
So I messed with the winch last night, was pulling a tree up the hill.
Was working great. But being that I was pulling at a slight angle all
the cable was winding on one side of the drum. Well with the
convenience of the controls in the cab and dad down watching the tree,
neither of us saw it happening until it was too late.... the cable
overwound on the one side, bound up, and snapped the shear pin.
