P1000 KFI Winch Mount

Another thing just occurred to me
on this winch. Isn't there a strap
for the first 3 or 4 feet of the
rope? I would feel better if this
was what contacted the fairlead
for raising & lowering the plow.

I have that piece but it gets hung up going in and out. I don't think I want to rely on that.

With the roller type of fairlead, will the synthetic line actually contact the roller or will it touch the inside frame of the bumper first?

This I don't know. I will know in a couple of days and will report back

I read up on my manual from Warn, they explicitly mentioned not to use the rollers, only the smooth bore fairlead.

It's sleeved cover about 4.5' long.
I suppose it will have to be removed
for the winch pulley.

No issues.. Plowed for over three hours the other night

You do not want to use the strap while plowing. It will ruin the strap. It is designed to be used to go up against a tree or Rock and protect the fibers during no use. It also helps eliminate the cable from wanting to mouse its way down to the spool shaft if it is farther back on the line during plowing use.

Not removed. Just pull more cable out and put it farther back on the line

 

[Johnny_C]

Good point.

Roger that!
