Keep in mind that Maximum pull is on the first layer of cable. Each additional layer of cable reduces pull of winch. By the time you have a full drum of cable you line pull is greatly reduced.

Go here; http://www.paccarwinch.com/manualsanddocs/manualsanddocs.aspx
download for example the specs on the HU8 winch (hydraulic 8000 pound pull) Look at the pull vs layers.

I do not run full drums of cable for this reason.
