It's becoming like a every time I plow occurrence for me now. I purchased a synthetic rope cable that I'm going to be installing to get rid of the 90 that has formed from only a foot of the cable being out at a time. My question is what else can I do to prevent the hook from going into the rollers and housing and getting stuck? Is there like a metal ball I can clamp on?

It's like a 10 minute fix every time it happens trying to get the blots out of the rollers with a plow in your way.

Winch stop. Good idea to use a big fender washer in between the hook and the stopper.

Many people use a kong ball as a winch stop.

Good God, I've got like 5 of them cause of my dogs. Why didn't I think of that lol.

I use dog Kongs, the small ones. I previously used tennis balls. Kongs work best for me.

I've got the small one of these in black on mine. just put a little bit of oil in the Kong to lube it and pulled the rope through with needle nose pliers. No need to completely unwind the cable.

I always used a short cable for plowing. I would take off the long one and put on a short 5 footer. Personally I don't like rope.

good idea! i ripped right through my winch stopped because the hook came off the plow and i didnt know it, sucked the cable clamps right through the rubber and split it.

i have the winch saver..I used a kong before...but it split in time cause it was hollow and i think I may have compressed it to much by mistake..but here is the hockey puck idea I seen....they are hard rubber by all means...and cheaper than a kong..lol...

I wish I could take credit for that! That idea came from this forum.

Tennis ball

I use a tennis ball too. Cb

Ditto on the Kong. I have one of the big red ones on my quad. It matches the body plastic.

WinchSaver

 

[Clinebo]

Winch-saver with washer behind hook.

Yes Clinebo is correct. Put a washer in between the Winchsaver and the hook and you're good to go. I used one of those heavy galvanized washers.
