That’s one I haven’t encountered yet. Sometimes Warn refers people to this guy when there’s a tough problem. He’s really good. Helped me sort 3 winches. https://www.montanajacks.com/- davidwyby

Also worm drive winches are better than planetary as rule, whether electric or hydraulic. No load line speed isn’t as fast, but loaded doesn’t slow down. Also, a worm drive needs much less braking as power cannot flow backwards thru a worm drive. I used and abused a used warn 12k for decades...- davidwyby

The limit of the electric winch is duty cycle. It pays to research and abide by that. Also, don’t operate them with low power very much.

When I started doing swing Dutchmen, my rule of thumb (adjust with experience and trees, I’m still learning) I would do my flat cut aimed between the lean and the lay and put only the undercut to the lay. Don’t trust em- davidwyby

Been trying to do the impossible for a long time - get brittle eucalyptus to hinge/swing/redirect. Got Quite a bit on this one. Hinge is 6” thick on the tension side. I think I’m going to call it a rip or tear or zipper hinge. Iif it won’t flex…tear it. The lean was towards the camera.- davidwyby
