I have a 10,000lb winch with steel cable, I am looking at changing it to Dyneema 10mm rope.
How many metres will fit on the drum?

I looked on the Tigerz site before I posted the question. they only had 3 winches listed and none were 10,000lb?
oh well, all good now

The 10K comes with 9mm rope not the 10mm you asked about....may make a metre or two difference if you're getting ends crimped/spliced

Typically 30M of 9 or 10mm fits on most low mount winches

And squeezing on too much isn't a good idea IMHO.... if it bunches up at an end ( which happens ) then you can snap the castings by pressure on the stays.
And of course the load rating decreases with increase in effective drum diameter which more rope will contribute to in close up winching situations.
