| Team3six winch line test
I received both lines for testing in the mail today. First line I will be testing is line A. Overall this stuff is easy to work with and a pretty small diameter so you can fit alot on a winch. Test vehicle weighs in a hair over 8 lbs. before shot Line A installed Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ygv16qodu5w Overall it performed pretty well, no breaks but the line did start to fray from contact with rocks. I had the bronco set to full drag brake while winching up the rock. Wheels were flat against the rock from the force and the bronco was sitting horizontal.

Thanks for that test, as I said I wasnt impressed with Test A but I wanted to see the results. I think that Test B will hold up very well. |

Well I got the B line tested today and am pretty happy with it. I went a different route on the testing, hooked up my 2.2 on the other end with a snatch block and made sure the line was rubbing up against the rocks with a heavy load. First attempt didnt go so great as it tried to pull the 1.9 off the rock so I had to put a 3 lb rock in the back of it. Second test was successful with almost no visible damage to the line Video and pictures being uploaded Last edited by AkFordfan; 03-11-2011 at 06:49 PM. |
