That was wound on under load, pulling another X with its brakes set.

With wire rope, I'm used to the edge of one wrap setting the edge of the next, and winding on more neatly...this synthetic stuff is floppy compared to the wire, and two of us were leaning on the rope left and right to try to get it to wind more evenly...the beginning was pretty good, the last 25' feet or so look like what you see.



Its a Warn 9.5xp...the original literature specified a 125' 5/16" wire rope...I substituted a 125' 5/16" Master Pull synthetic rope...

I got the stuff last year...but didn't have a chance to install it untill a few months ago.

I later found that Warn had changed the claimed capacity to only 100' of 5/16.

So - I was winding on about 25' more than intentioned....hence the mess.

Anyway...I have a paragon run in January..., and just want to resolve my best course of action.

So far, it loks like having MP fix it by cutting off an extension and leaving 100' winch line will be the way to go...but, the rep said "If its too tight, not just a little tight".
