why would you oil your winch cable? Get rid of the cable and go with rope. I came 2 feet from being hit with a flying hook this weekend from a broken cable
Been 4x4 and quading for more years than I can remember. Yes I know how to dampen a winch line but that does not work every time.. have yet to find a disadvantage to rope
How about cost.
Add I already own a perfectly fine winch cable so why replace it?
Synthetic rope doesn't handle rock abrasion nearly as good as metal cable.
One of my friends oiled his winch cable and turned it into a dirt magnet. I don't know if I've ever oiled one of mine but if I did it was a long time ago. All I do is wind it up straight after I'm done plowing for the year.
