You can tell if the string is too tight by the amount of resistance that you feel. When you press down on the string, it should almost all go down with no resistance. If there is resistance then it will be to hard for your finger to go through or it would stick to your finger.
This depends on the type of strings that you are using so it never is the same for one guitar string to always have the most tension. What should happen is that the low E string should have the most tension but with traditional strings, and how they are manufactured, the tensions can be all over the place. There are now also balanced tension strings that are designed to make each string have close to the same tensions on each.
This gives a very consistent feel when playing each string. The length of a guitar string from tuning peg to bridge saddles should not affect tension. A longer string will have a higher pitch but it should produce a lower amount of tension. It is the materials and thickness of the string that cause the main change in tension. String tension is very important if you want your guitars to sound their best. You would then need to spend time and money on setting it up again, getting new strings and so on.
Which would all be time and money wasted. When you tighten a guitar string, the pitch of the note goes up. Tightening a string also changes the tension of the string. Bigger strings have more tension than smaller strings. Guitar strings change pitch as they tighten or loosen. Tighter strings produce a higher pitch, while looser stringers produce a lower pitch. This is how you tell if your strings are too tight.
Strings that are too tight are unreasonably hard to hold down and produce an abnormally high-pitched sound. Guitars with tight strings tend to be painful to play on. Tight strings also tend to snap and break more often. This video looks like a good guide. Please try installing the strings according to the instructions here and update the question if you still have trouble.
If this does not work for you, it's possible that you have a problem with the actual tuning machine, which is plausible based on this from your question:. In that case, it would be worth taking the guitar to a local shop and asking for advice.
Most guitar shops are willing to look at issues like this and give good advice. EDIT: Note that the "handy string winder" is a convenience only - you don't need the electrical one, but the ordinary hand-powered one can be a help. Sign up to join this community.
