Today’s project is synthetic!
Question
Today's project…synthetic
winch rope. This was bought off Amazon for $25. Only issues were that the new hawse guide was 1" too big. Need to find a smaller one so I kept the roller on for now… and the old cable was held in with hex set screw. Needed one with a head to secure new end

Be sure and stretch it. Hook to a tree and pull you atv or sxs with the winch and it will stretch it and it will roll up better on the wench. There is a video on YouTube about how to do this. Pretty interesting
Watch those rollers with ill cut that rope in a heartbeat
I live on a hill. I hooked it to my truck and pulled it up
I replaced the clevis and used synthetic rope. This Saturday an f350 got stuck and I actually winched him out. He pulled my machine forward a few inches. So I know the cable and winch are definitely strong enough to get my machine out of anything.

I got mine at Harbor Freight. Everything lined up great.

What rope is it?
Synthetic is the way to go, I will never go back to that steel cable
Monster rigging has the best rope around. Give them a look.
