[QUOTE="SlugSlinger, post: 3999015, member: 7248"] All these are the cheap Chinese discounted winches, even those like milemarker, superwinch and this specific model of warn. I like watching this guy on his different testing. I wouldn’t have wasted time testing how much force it takes to pull the cable off the drum. That could all depend on how tight the rope was installed. Other than that, the synthetic cable breaking shows the inferior materials used on these. The synthetic rope on my old Ramsey is USA made and rated at 19,500 pounds and 450 degrees and Ramsey wouldn’t install it on anything bigger than the 9,500 lbs winch. Most of the synthetic rope on these cheap winches will melt the layer of wrap against the drum because of the braking system, in these planetary winches, that is installed inside the drum generating a lot of heat.
