The way I set up the anchor line left me exactly what I need on the winch for the maximum pulling force: just a few wraps on the drum, to keep it from slipping & ripping the cable away from the drum. But any winch develops its maximum pull on the first (innermost) layer.

Note the hook is on the front bumper, meaning the line is doubled back through a snatch block for almost double the pulling force at half the line speed.
