Im new to the world of winches (not wenches
) and recently scored a Warn 8274 in great shape. The cable was kinked in a few spots and rusty so i took it off. Since i got the winch so cheap i want to treat my self to a nice rope line. I've have heard of amsteel blue, plasma rope, some purple line a buddy mentioned, orange ones, and a guy that runs a tug boat here told me about some green ones. I like the fact that some were developed for ships. It is so salty here i have to treat my 109 like a boat. I have no idea what the differences are or what would be best for my application. That is almost always pulling someone out of the sand, and maybe the occasional stump removal
Should i get 5/16, 3/8, or what? I think 100 feet will be more than enough. Is a basic hook the way to go these days, or is there something cool i dont even know about?! The winch will eventually be mounted to a Pangolin bumper with all the bells and whistles, maybe even double as an air tank while im at it.
Thanks, mason
im very talkative tonight
