Not the one tagged, but here's what I use;
I'm using #5 starter cord with about the same setup, and I really like it.
Slight stretch, which allows for a bit of forgiveness in the winching speed without overloading the saw.
I tested it (stens #5 cord) up to 750 lbs and then I let off with a hydralic cylinder, which is probably 5-7x more load than it actually sees.
I chose it for abrasion resistance & because I had 250 feet of it. there's a couple guys on U-tube using starter rope as well IIRC
Awesome Toadman
Just ordered stens #5 cord from flea bay, fairly cost effective for 100ft.
Thanks for the feedback, Good to get the right stuff straight up, no need to reinvent the wheel
Cheers Geoff
