My truck is off-axis, so my winch isn't wrapping straight onto the drum. And on this layer, it's wrapping toward the load, leaving big gaps for later layers to dig into, which is why I had to stop frequently to back off & rewrap. My winch pendant died, so Greg had to move to my truck to work the dash switch.

My other problem was that, because I have 2 batteries, and my winch spent most of the time bogged dragging the stump uphill, its power wire got so hot I could smell it. So we had to let it cool a couple of times.
