does this have a braking/hold type capability to keep the cable from slippng out under load (weight of my snow plow attachment)?

I purchased this winch for a customer so I'm not hundred percent certain but I do believe it does have cable break.

Boltar: Good question. Unfortunately the answer is no. At present, the product will pull the cable in until it bottoms out, and doesn't have a part-way stop. (I've had times when I wanted my cord part way out, and I've found that a small binder clip is an effective, though not elegant solution.)

good question, but no idea. I do know that this winch blows away the crappy super winch that came on my snow bear plow. I modified this to use on my plow 3 years ago, and this unit has worked without fail, and it's smoother and quieter than the super winch; not to mention, a fraction of the price.

We bought a ( two actually) long strong cable combination lock and run it through the pair of grippers, since we have two on each side of our truck. this probably wouldn't deter a very determined thief, but we feel better having them locked up.

Once the cable(s) is/are in place I have had no problems with it laying flat. Anything can be moved by enough force but it remained in place when a loaded hand truck rolled over it.

My wire cable kept breaking when I was plowing so I bought this roller fairlead last year and also I bought a special Synthetic rope to use only for snow plowing to go with it. So far I've plowing a lot and it has been holding up good. The rope can take the bending a lot better than the wire cable, hope this helps, Merry Christmas.

It does not lock but it is very steady and does not come off easily. Very well made cable.

Not that well due to having to dump frequently not to mention traction due to front end loaded. The rope used to dump the load is a "pain". I bought a Swisher scrapper for my ATV and when set at 15 degree angle it worked pretty good. Hope this helps you. Happy Veteran's Day.

No,the red strap is used to lift the plow and does not allow down pressure as designed.a redesign may allow that but internal strength may be a factor,good luck .bryan

No. I bought one for my four wheeler to lift and lower the snow plow, worked fine, but the control had to lay on my gas tank. Price was right, and cheaper than buying a manual lift for the plow.

Yes it does. Actually it comes with two hooks so that it can be used with a single cable or the same cable doubled for extra heavy lifts.

Yes, i had to swap pos/neg cables with winch side cables cause of where i placed it on four wheeler. Placed switch on left side of handle bars. Very pleased.

Yes. Chain and hanging loop included. It easily supported 8-10 lbs plus 2+ft of snow this winter

The cable that I purchased was to power the self propel function. It has nothing to do with a brake. I don't think this is what you need.

No it doesn't do that. The one you have is defective and you should stop using it. With the unit I have I just dial in the stopping power that holds my trailer when I apply the brakes at a medium pressure.

No brake but I have found that it doesn't move when getting up due to soft garden soils. I have had no problems even on patio weeding flower beds. I lay a garden trowel or some other tool that I carry in my tool tray behind a wheel if it does want to roll on cement

attaches to the back axle so it does not have the leverage to pull you over
