Thread: WINCH ROPE LENGTH for comps

As much as you can get on, we'v just mod'd 2 high mounts , extended

winch drum, breathers 6HP motors rear braces should be able to get over

2 hundred meters on do a google for warn high mout mods there are a lot

of very good uk sites

thanks for that what sort of costs do people spend on rope that long ,,must be huge ???

Depends where you get it from, never buy winch rope from 4WD

accessory shops ARB/TJM ect you pay through the nose look in the yellow

pages for rigger supplies half the cost

A point to remenber is the more rope you have on a winch drum, the lesser the pulling power on the outer layers, most pulling power is on the fist 1 or 2 layers of rope.

Unless you extend the drum ......that way the layers stay the same but

the extra rope is spaced out on the longer drum....as was suggested

above....

200' even 200m would make for a scary big drum

Modded drums are often made with a smaller diameter, longer drum.
