Gang, just how strong is 1/2" winch cable? Reason I'm asking is my M756A2
has the conventional 10,000# capacity deuce winch on the front that carries
200' of 1/2" cable. (Had to add the word capacity becuase some moron would tell
me my front tires are overloaded). The truck also has a 20,000# capacity
winch on the back. It's nearly identical to the winches mounted on the front of
5 tons. The manual calls for 300' of 1/2" cable for this winch also. Should I
be concerned about putting the same size cable on both winches considering
the fact that this one is rated a twice the capacity? I do plan on working the
winch too!
Just a thought and question!
Kenny
