Sure would

Mike what is the maximum length of 10mm I could fit on the drum do you know?

and I'm assuming 10mm is more than adequate or should I go a little smaller diameter so I can get more rope on?

[Tombie]

10mm is quite good wearing...

30mtrs is almost all recoveries... often less is needed...

Get an extension strap or more rope as an extension strap for longer recoveries...

30mtrs fills nicely, any more and you cant get the lay on the drum nice...

[dullbird]

Ok cool thanks..although lay on the drum nice? its my understanding you are supposed to put synth rope on the drum messy because if you line and layer it on llike wire rope it can easily bind

[Tombie]

In this scenario.. By lay nice I mean cross hatch pattern...

Layer 1 /////////
Layer 2 \\\\\\\\\

Unlike S.W.R where each layer is: |||||||||

Good price and find Lou.

Hmm, do I really need to shed a few kg's from the front end ?

[dullbird]

I do think you could possibly get it a little cheaper however I like the fact its yellow..in keeping with the car plus bit more hi vis I reckon.....

Don't get caught up in the pretty colour thing

The specs for the rope look OK,although nowhere near the what they could be for that diameter rope.
The other thing you should find out is,does the rope have a metal thimble fitted in the eye.And also it says it has an eye and splice sheath pre fitted.You should ask if the sheath is moveable along the length of the rope,and can be used as an abrasion guard,because this is something that is overlooked and ideally should be fitted to any synthetic winch rope.Ideally you would want it to be at least 3mts long.If these items were not fitted,I would walk away and order what I really needed.
