  1. Never hook your winch cable back to itself, which creates a kink, and from there a weak point. Use a strap to loop trees, and then hook to the strap. Bare cable will damage live trees as well. Only metal anchor points should be direct hooked to.

    Also, the " 'Binder " nick name isn't derived from something the heavy IH drivers used often to refer to other IH rigs, it was more in reference to the IH "Light Line", which were it's 1 ton and under vehicles (Travelall's, Scouts, and pickup trucks). IH offered these because they knew as long as they had a farmer in the dealership to spend 3/4 of a million dollars on ag equipment, you could probably also sell them a runabout vehicle for $10 grand to use in the fields while you were bringing your crops in. Also, while the salesman was selling you your ag equipment and a light truck, they were selling your wife a refrigerator and chest freezer. They even had some IH branded books and toys to keep your kids busy. 'Binder is shortened up from the phrase Corn Binder, which referenced the corn stalks that would get wrapped around your drivelines and axles while you were running back and forth in your corn fields during harvest.

    IH eventually got sick of the tight profit margins on the Light Line (Figuring why should they go to the effort to manufacture a $10K vehicle for $700 net profit, when they could focus on making $750,000 combine harvesters that net them $100,000 in profit. They didn't even want to be bothered with making $10,000 profit for a $90,000 tractor trailer rig, and subcontracted that out to Navistar International.) They retired all Light Line vehicles in late 1980 or early '81, saying they cared to leave the heavy competition in that field to the Big Three automakers.
