I would want to use it to pull trees I drop, that fall into a gully. They are 60-plus feet long Alder.
I would go by the manufactures recommendations, (the manual down loadable from northern), the write up and manual says 60 of 1/4" cable.)
I would say NO it will not take 1/2 cable.
and if you did some how get it on it, most likely would not hold 10 feet of it, may be less.
at a look at the pictures this is a small hand winch, like is on boat trailers, not a logging winch,
Helpful?
No, you should use a electric winch on a 4 wheel drive vehicle for that, or a wrecker type truck I just moved a tree 18" dia.with my 4x4 and 12,000 pound warn winch and it was hard to move, but it was Oak.
Also this winch would not hold very much 1/2" cable.
Helpful?
The manufacturer states that .50 inch cable is too large to fit with this and all of there winch models.

Does this use wire or fibrous rope or both?
Both, and also 2" wide strap, I like straps they don't get all kinked up or fray and cut you. and hold, pull, lift, much more than rope.
Helpful?
I used the belt type but I sure wire would work also.

This Dutton-Lainson winch will accept both cable or rope.

also, how does the automatic break work? Are there wear items associated with the break?
It is possible to run two separate wire ropes, but because the ropes are not going to layer like a single rope will, the ropes may move at different speeds. There must be a load on the winch for the brake to work. The mechanics of the winch allow the load to be moved in or out and when the winch is stopped the weight of the load activates the brake. The winch is designed for a long life without adjustments or replacing parts.

Thanks for your question!
While it is possible to run two separate wire ropes onto the winch reel, you cannot guarantee that both ropes will move at the same rate. As the reel fills with rope, the two ropes will not change layers at exactly the same time, so one rope will pull faster than the other because of the larger diameter it is winding around. If it is essential that both ropes pull at the same rate, we recommend making a yoke where two ropes pulling the load are joined to one rope which winds onto the winch drum.
The brake on this winch is a simple mechanism, but quite complicated to explain. Cranking the winch handle clockwise with a load on the winch tightens the brake to the extent needed to securely hold the load in place. Cranking counter clockwise loosens the brake enough to allow the load to pay out at the same rate you crank. When cranking stops the load stops and is held in place. This winch must have a load on it to function.
Finally, this winch's brake is fully automatic. It never needs adjustment and normally lasts the entire life of the winch with only minimal wear. The need for replacement brake parts is extremely rare.
Helpful?
The brake will hold or suspend the load when the handle is stopped. If suspending for long periods of time or hoisting around people, it is suggested that a secondary holding device be used.
Helpful?
This winch is not available with a handle on the left side of the winch.

This hand winch is designed for use with 1/4" cable up to 60' long. Currently, we offer do not offer a cable of this size; however, we do offer winch ropes that are 1/4" x 50', items 13072 and 23992.

This Dutton-Lainson hand winch is approved for use on a boat lift.

also, what is the inside width and diameter of the drum ?
The line pull on the Dutton-Lainson Winch would depend on the size and type of cable or strap that you will install. The inside width of the drum is 2" and the diameter of the drum is 2 1/2".
Helpful?
Can you easily and safely remove handle in load position as has to fit in small compartment on sail boat?
No, you cannot easily remove the handle, and it should not be altered or removed as it provides fail-safe features.
