I have been using the winch a little just putting tension on dead trees so I can cut them down,I don't like how it unspools on the spool as soon as you release tensions.Then you have to pull all of cable out and wind the cable back on there.Aggravating.I'm glad it does have the wireless remote winch controller.I went ahead and got a 1/4" 12 strand red winch rope(8000 lbs) to exchange for the steel cable.There's nothing wrong with the steel cable,works fine but I just don't like having to unspool all of it just to get it all back on there.As soon as I release tension it,it's like a baitcasting fishing reel,if you don't hold tension on the spool it wants to unravel & then you have to unspool it all or you won't get it all back on there.Also ordered a cheap 4-7/8" Hawse fairlead to go with the winch rope.
