you can run plasma. Plasma doesn't deal too well with abuse, it doesn't like being dragged over rocks. For this reason most people go up a size (i'm now on 12mm) which means that you don't fit any more on.

Plasma also needs to be cleaned as the grit in dirt can wear it out.

Stick with cabel for regular use, buy an extension strap, rated shackles, a snatch block, cable dampener and a decent hook that can go onto a tree protector without shackles.

Dude it's only got a 1.6hp motor! :shock: I reckon it'll die if you pull for any longer than 15 meters.

Not worth the trouble of fitment that IMO
