drag it up hill with the hand brake on a few clicks for some more resistance, it needs to be spooled on under some actual load.

i put mine in first gear low range with the hubs locked and motor off, attach the cable to something heavy and winch the car to it.

do you actually have to use that much load? i just wind mine on through my hands keeping a firm grip. my rope is 30m by 10mm aswell. must be some thing else wrong eaither you have a small winch, barrel is too big or not enough space between the barrel and the bars that join motor and gearbox.

No you don't have to use a hill. Put it to another car and either drag the car to you or the other way around.

Unlike the reel on a fishing rod, you may have to spool in on.It may be bunching up in one place .

Use a leather glove.

I think he is suggesting that you wil get a tighter grip on the rope while spooling.

If you don't spool on under load the rope will be loose on the drum.
When you use the winch next, you may only need to unspool 10-15 metres. Then when you winch in under load you will pinch the rope on the drum and it will be very difficult to unspool next time.

That is the only disadvantage I have found RE: Rope Vs Cable.
