FARMI Type Winch

[bsekf]

What did you do before putting Synthetic Rope on a Farmi type winch? I understand you have to polish all the pulleys and the drum so it doesn't snag.
Is there a source of parts for the Farmi, our clutch is about shot.

I am more interested in hearing about the advantages and disadvantages of switching from wire rope to synthetic on a winch used to winch logs.

We have one. Steel cable all the way. I don't think synthetic will last till the water gets hot

Synthetic on a front vehicle recover winch may be fine. Me, if I had a winch that didn't work, I'd put synthetic on it so I'd look bad azz. But I wouldn't waste synthetic on a winch that actually works.

I'd also be curious how well it winds and unwinds on a Farmi type tree winch so far as tangling and getting bound up is concerned.

You are getting to be as bad as I am. Sometimes I think speeling is optional, even with spell check... You'd be amazed how many typo's I see in the local print rag too.

Our winch is 1995 model or so. Just replaced first cable this year. Cut thousands of acres with it. I wouldn't ever consider synthetic. Kinda like a sword fight. You want some chain mail or a froot of the loop T shirt ?
