How many times have you pulled 250'???
The winch rating is measured at the SECOND wrap on the drum. After that, depending upon how tight the cable is wrapped, the strength diminishes dramatically.
Every inch you let out is an inch that you have to wind back up. My 75,000 lb tow rope is 25' long, I've never been too far away with it....= )
