for around $13 you can own a winch saver

Sweet, thanks!

The winch saver? They are hollow and easy to clean. I'm sure other parts of your quad are much harder to clean. My buddy has one on his Brute and I can't see how thats hard to clean. A quick shot with the pressure washer will do.

I know they say when the synthetic rope breaks it drops straight to the ground but I get nervous sitting behind it while its fiddle string tight. So my question is did it just drop WITHOUT anything drapped over the rope?

When it snapped both times the rope didn't go anywhere. I always thought they'd fling back but that wasn't the case.

Wow , thats one heavy lady.

Yeah, thats what I thought. But riding you couldn't tell. It'll lift the front end like nobody's business and it takes quite a bit to get stuck. Feels just like my YFZ did! :beer:
