Those of you using ATV's what are you running for winch line? I get a little heavy on the winch and have broke cables and synthetic rope. Thinking about converting over to a strap of some sort.
I've used the winch pretty hard on mine, pulled it to stalling many times, and no problems yet with the stock cable. The winch is a 2500# Warn. One thing to watch, especially running the plow where the winch doesn't move much, is that your cable is wound tight and not tangled. Kinks turn into a weak and eventually busted cable pretty quick. After a day of using mine wheeling or woodcutting, I spool it all the way out and rewind it, keeping tension on the line while doing it. Normally tie to a tree and pull the wheeler to it.
I've heard good reviews on the braided winch rope. It's not "all that" in your opinion I take it?
