Anyone tried this budget rope? Dont do much winching but have been spiked by the wire a couple of times and this looks like it could be the go.

I have used this rope on my hydraulic winch equipted GQ patrol and have found it quite good. Its not as soft to feel as some of the other ropes and seems to be pretty good in the abrasion resistance department.
Ive put some massive loads on the rope, got hung up on a rock and ended up breaking the bar, and the rope was no worst for wear.
I got mine from Tigerz11, but its the same as the rope on your link.
Just one tip, these ropes dont last long in direct sunlight, so remove or cover the rope when not in use.

Thanks for that narnturbogq,
Sounds like it is worth changing to.

Well worth it, once you change to rope you will never go back!!
