rope for 1590 winch. do any of you guys use rope in the winch or just cable. if so what type of rope and size.
 
winch rope

we just replaced our amstel blue winch rope . it was 1/2" and about 100' long. it gave us good service life.it was on our 1890 HD when we bought it 2 years ago and it was pretty used then . since we routinly use it to pull large trees over that are leaning the wrong way we replaced it before we had a failure. did some research about winch ropes and found a company called master pull. they have some impressive products. so we bought some 3/8 rope so we could fit 125' on the spool. it is rated for 26,000 lbs and cost about $300. thats a pretty good deal compared to other winch ropes. i like it so far.
