So I tried to save a few $ and went with custom splice synthetic winch rope. It’s been about 13months , it’s used heavily since all my fellow riders have non working or crappy winches. I’m currently running the Superwinch Terra 35 and I love it, no issues at all with the winch and it gets submerged often. So in using a snatchblock would double the pull power to 7000lbs, right ?? But the rope is rated at 5400 or 6500 lbs…. I put it to the test, the rope broke trying to move a huge tree. I’m glad I went with the synthetic because my young son was near by and when the line popped it scared me ! The line only traveled like 2 ft ! Impressive and safe ! I do have an aluminum hawse fairlead and with the heavy use the line is slightly faded and furry looking, not so much frayed though …I was able to remake the splice with the help of YouTube but now it’s ten feet shorter. I’ll be trying a different brand rope this time . Any good suggestions on an inexpensive brand ?? If I could get 2 years out of it I’ll be happy ! I was thinking about trying moto alliance brand …..
