I am putting a winch on my M38. The original is 3500# and the manual says to
use a 3/16" cable. This size cable is rated at 850# by my research. Why use
a cable rated at 25% of the winch capacity? Granted, I would rather have the
cable break than the winch/PTO drivetrain/PTO/transfer case, but a 4:1 ratio
seems excessive. Am I missing something, or are the capacities calculated
differently?
