Hello, all! My wife and I just bought a 10-acre property with a 1/4-mile driveway. We bought a 2013 Sportsman 850 XP HO to plow & grade the driveway, and had a Polaris winch and Glacier Pro plow installed by the dealer. The very first day of plowing, I managed to break the winch cable right above the ferrule and wrap the frayed end under itself on the drum. Any tips, tricks, or advice for tearing the winch apart and freeing the cable would be appreciated! I will be moving to synthetic line soon, but I’ve got to get this problem fixed first. Thanks!
