Block effect on winch capacity has no effect...agreed. But to do a given task, winch workload is directly reduced by dividing the load by the number of pulleys. The original post had to do with workload. If you buy a winch that is precabled, I'll agree you get the cable that they supplied; unless you take it off and use your own. My latest winch came empty spooled so I chose my cable size based upon the load to be moved. As far as cable size, it most definitely is affected by number of pulleys. That is why they are used; to share the load. Distance is increased by the number of pulleys (multiple) but again you don't get something for nothing. So if you have your truck equipped so that you can feed your 12k winch great. This guy apparently didn't and we offered options as to how he might get it to work. Different people have different resources and different situations. For example, I chose to use a manual winch on my haytruck because I wanted the exercise and didn't want to go the extra bucks for an electric unit. I originally rigged it without a snatch block and could hardly lift it. One snatch block and it was much easier and I got to reduce my cable from 3/8 to 5/16 which rolled on the winch much better. FYI, The last come-a-long I bought to hoist (drag)my kids cars onto my trailer to get them back home came with a snatch block which was attached to the vehicle, deadman back at the come-a-long. It was a 4 ton capacity and had a 5/16 dia cable just like my previous 2 ton unit without snatch block. Mark

Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
