Perhaps something similar could be done, but scaled up to protect the skids from the rubbing of the cable? Like running a short section of pipe through each skid: when the cable runs though the pipes and the skids, it would go through the metal pipe, protecting the tip of wood skid from being torn off?

Lol) was the pipe parallel to the skid is not connected to the pipe going through the skid, it just houses the cable to protect the skid from wear. So you wouldn’t be threading the cable through a 90 degree pipe setup, which I agree could be difficult. Off to the right I drew a different option, steel plate bolted to the skid. I had mentioned that in a previous post. It could just be on the outside- or inside and out- of the skids, depending on how strong you want it. Making a hole through the wood weakens it, so the smaller the hole the better. Either way, the cable now pulls on steel (pipe or plate) instead of wood, making it a stronger and longer lasting arrangement and no broken skid tips! The cross brace should only be about 6” back from the tips of the skids, to give the best support, which was why I drew it the way I did yesterday. Of course I also forgot any dimensions on my drawing... good that I never chose engineering as a career!
