WARN winch - 8274 or 9.5cti?

[Master-Pull]

I have a 150' of 3/8" rope on my 9.5ti. You just have to make sure it winds evenly.

This thread is a few months old, but I would not recommend doing this! By having the winch totally maxed out you are going to run into problems if you ever have to winch at an angle. All the rope or cable will build on one side of the drum which can cause damage to the winch casing or crossbars.

It has been fine for 6 years so far. I am carefull to watch how it spools up and always re spool after I am done winching. Not to mention MOST of the time my anchor point is over 20' away and only a couple of feet of winching is needed to get me out of the situation. It may not be the elitist way to do things, but most situations don't require OSHA regulations to get the job done. I am not knocking you, I realize as a corperation you have to CYA.
