Hey Tedd, welcome to the off road world buddy! It can definitely be overwhelming with all the info out there. If you did not see this video we did on stretching your winch cable be sure to check it out, WINCH BREAK IN | THIS IS A MUST BEFORE YOU HIT THE TRAILS... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fV15ZPgOzSY.html I used my Jeep to do exactly what you are asking about. I left my RMAX in neutral while stretching the wire rope. As far as your second question, if you’re using your machine to winch anyone or any objects out, I would recommend you stay in your vehicle with your foot on the brake and your tranny in neutral so you don’t put a bunch of torque on your tranny in park. You could also us an accessory kit to anchor the back of your machine to a tree or another vehicle if your machine starts sliding toward what your winching out. Thank you for watching and for asking great questions! Keep in touch my friend and don’t hesitate to hit me up with any questions you may have… 👍🏼

Not even sure what you’re referring to… 🤔 Thanks for watching though…

sorry, youtube skipped to the next vid in my line while i was writing😖 Thanks for the Instruktion, I'll have to change my rope soon 😅👍🏼

@greyknight05 oh, I got ya, lol 👍🏼

@@FishersOffRoad Max I ask a question? This time really to your vid 🤣 Some synthetic ropes do come with a sleeve to protect the first lines of rope on the drum against friction-burning. Is this a problem to bigger/higher loads or is this a general problem to sinthetic ropes? I'd have a 3to Landcruiser on the cable and would like to avoid that problem.

No, you can do it while it’s on your machine. I just did it on the bench, so it was easier to see the install.

Not sure about that, I don’t think Warn ever made a 3700?

@@FishersOffRoad Hi, I purchased it about 14 years. Warn updated it to 4000 series winch.

Let me look in to that and see what unit I can install it on, stand by… 👍🏼

No, it's the same length as the wire rope.

It should be the same concept, I’ve done it on both truck and PowerSport winches.

@@FishersOffRoad Thank you for the prompt response.

That’s why you need 5 wraps on the drum when you pull your rope out.

No, same puck for all of them on the ATV, UTV winches.

Yes sir, here’s a video for you that explains it better. WINCH BREAK IN | THIS IS A MUST BEFORE YOU HIT THE TRAILS... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fV15ZPgOzSY.html

I would stick with the 50’ that Warn recommends. Adding more rope will change everything as far as gearing and if you should happen to stack to one side or the other you’ll cause major damage to the winch. Warn sells a 50’ extension rope in case you need more during your recovery.

@@FishersOffRoad Ahhh so stick with the 50'; and if I need the rope longer, just use the extension for that moment. Ok that makes sense... Thanks for the reply, because I was back and forth about buying a longer rope , yet the temporary extension makes more sense 👍

Yes, it’s a sleeve protector for the rope. In case you’re winching over anything abrasive you put the sleeve on it and the rope slides through it and protects your rope from abrasions.

@@FishersOffRoad thanks much

You bet, let me know if you have any other questions.

You can contact Warn Industries at 800-543-9276 and they’ll be happy to help you out.

Don’t worry, we’re adding more soon. 👍🏼

That’s very odd, I’ve been using synthetic ever since it came out and have never had that happen. 🤔

Winch was at about half capacity if that on straight line pull .. had to move about 3 times to get him off the sand in the dirt so he could move under his own power .. last time I went to pull the rope out out I noticed it was extremely hot even so it was getting uncomfortable with gloves on.. then I noticed what looked like flat melted spots on the line .. and. I did respool it under load when I got it .. but yeah my old winch had synthetic line but it never behaved like this

Same thing happen to me.

Please provide the manufacturer of the ropes that melted, would like to change to rope, but want to avoid manufactures that have sub-standard product. Like wise does anyone have recommendations for a proven synthetic rope that is not melting. Thanks.

I’ve been using Warn synthetic ropes for years and have never had a problem with any of them. We use them on our ATVs, side-by-side, pick up trucks, and they always hold up.

As long as the rollers are new, you can’t use rollers that were used for a wire rope or the burs will ruin it. Or you can sand the rollers really good to get them smooth.
