Be sure to fab-up a cover of some kind to keep the direct sunlight and rain off your synthetic rope, and reduce the amount of your synthetic lead running from winch spool to your hook.
The synthetic rope is tough and strong, but sunlight is its’ “kryptonite” and will weaken the strands
This is what I did for my 25,000lb Sherpa with synthetic rope. I built a simple cover over the spool with scrap aluminum diamond plate. Note I also have a sleeve over the last 6-8” of rope that remains exposed.

Bought front and rear Bora 2-inch wheel spacers for the little CK2620. Excellent customer service.
They'll come in handy next time I'm cleaning out a 2-foot wide ditch that is quite a bit wider than it's supposed to be. Then at least only about half of the rears will be suspended by air.

I got Bro-Tek 1.3" on my front, and 3" on the backs, it does help a lot in straddling a ditch, even if you gotta lay the bucket down to keep the fronts out ...
I got 1.25" from BORA for my pickup for chain clearance, both are excellent quality, and service!
I also run chains front and back on my tractor, helps with that too ...

Well I didn't actually buy it this week, but I went down to the warehouse and picked it up today a 16 x 30 Shelter Logic building.
It will be going up on 4 foot walls,

I've had this Harbor Freight small compressor for 30 years and it's been giving trouble so yesterday went back and bought a new one almost identical $160. I needed it for air lift, to replace brake hoses wife's '55.
At home it worked 5 minutes...then tried another cycle it quit!
Back at store that was the last one so I got a refund.
Not far is Home Depot and after checking theirs out decided on this Dewalt pancake made in USA $160! Yay!...and works great and helps our workers!
