synthetic rope on pto?
Just a quick question. will synthetic rope work on a PTO and survive? i know that synth rope doesn't like the heat associated with internal drums on electric winches, just wondering if anything about PTO design/function would severely limit the lifespan of synthetic?
Spit my last breath

Cant see any reason why it wouldn't .. no electics to heat up, or internal brake drums on the winch etc.bad_religion_au wrote:Just a quick question. will synthetic rope work on a PTO and survive? i know that synth rope doesn't like the heat associated with internal drums on electric winches, just wondering if anything about PTO design/function would severely limit the lifespan of synthetic?
If yout worred you can get the synth winch rope that is heat resistant ( see pauls thread about his pop rivited on winch) for the first few wraps and then normal winch rope for the rest.

Re: synthetic rope on pto?
yeah that thread is what made me think of it. i just don't have enough experience with either PTO's (just bought one) or synth cable to be sure i haven't overlooked any factors.love_mud wrote:Cant see any reason why it wouldn't .. no electics to heat up, or internal brake drums on the winch etc.bad_religion_au wrote:Just a quick question. will synthetic rope work on a PTO and survive? i know that synth rope doesn't like the heat associated with internal drums on electric winches, just wondering if anything about PTO design/function would severely limit the lifespan of synthetic?

A while back my neighbour busted his dragging a HUGE mofo stump around ... when I helped replace the shear pin at the winch end moments after it busted .. The gearbox etc was stone cold.bad_religion_au wrote:yeah that thread is what made me think of it. i just don't have enough experience with either PTO's (just bought one) or synth cable to be sure i haven't overlooked any factors.love_mud wrote:Cant see any reason why it wouldn't .. no electics to heat up, or internal brake drums on the winch etc.bad_religion_au wrote:Just a quick question. will synthetic rope work on a PTO and survive? i know that synth rope doesn't like the heat associated with internal drums on electric winches, just wondering if anything about PTO design/function would severely limit the lifespan of synthetic?

I investigated using synthetic rope rather than steel cable and the only con's i could find is that it doesnt last long or survive if its left on the drum out in the elements, sun, rain, etc tend to deteriorate the rope (or so I was told)..
I run steel cable and it gets virtually no maintenance bar a respool at the end of a camping/wheeling trip..

How hard would it be to stick a bit of polycarbonate over the drum ... weather and UV protection.shorty_f0rty wrote:I investigated using synthetic rope rather than steel cable and the only con's i could find is that it doesnt last long or survive if its left on the drum out in the elements, sun, rain, etc tend to deteriorate the rope (or so I was told)..

How hard is it to lug steel cable through difficult terrian V's nice light no splinters poly rope.shorty_f0rty wrote:not hard at all I guess but a bit harder than doin sweet F.a. with it..love_mud wrote:How hard would it be to stick a bit of polycarbonate over the drum ... weather and UV protection.shorty_f0rty wrote:I investigated using synthetic rope rather than steel cable and the only con's i could find is that it doesnt last long or survive if its left on the drum out in the elements, sun, rain, etc tend to deteriorate the rope (or so I was told)..
