Plasma Rope
I have a spare 15,000lb winch that I intend to use as a portable winch mounted in a cradle that will fit into a tow bar receiver fitting.
With its 28m of wire rope the winch by itself weighs 50kg and probably with the cradle will be closer to 60kg - I can still lift it but it is a bit heavy.
I am thinking of replacing the wire rope with plasma to reduce the overall weight to make the setup a little more manageable. Also I find 28m of rope is not really long enough, particularly is a double pull is required so I am thinking of going down to 12,000lb rope to get a bit more on the winch.
There seems to be a lot of places to get rope - including ebay but I know very little about the stuff. So where would be the best place to buy plasma rope and how much would I expect to pay for say 40m of 12,000lb rope.
Oh what do people do with the old wire rope?
Thanks
