just was searching for extra recovery line and found this on Amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/X-BULL-Dynee...-33-spons&keywords=synthetic+winch+rope&psc=1

Is Dyneema a ‘brand’ name? This looks like a very reasonable price for 100’
I’ve got a Warn Compresor Powerplant winch and it uses 125’ of wire rope. I usually carry
150’ of extra wire rope as back up but weight and convenience are a bit of a pain. So looking at
buying a couple of loops of synthetic.

Dyneema is the material.....that would be the right stuff as long as used with winching not as a tug em out type of rope

Yeah, there was a bunch available, then all of a sudden it's gone. Typical Amazon.

Now I live in the north, so we get higher prices.
I found on Amazon.ca
Ranger 3/8" x 100' UHMWPE Synthetic winch rope rated at 20,500lbs but it's $154 Can $

https://www.amazon.ca/Ranger-Durabl...100911&sr=8-3&keywords=rangers+synthetic+rope

On Amazon.ca they advertise right along with Warn so wondering if it's the same rope different
name that Warn actually sells. Now what does UHMWPE stand for??

Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene - seems to be synonymous with Dyneema.

Woodsman44, I don't jerk my winch. Snatch strap is a different animal, not what I'm looking for.
It's amazing how short a distance 125' can be, even in a forest.

Good to here!!

I agree, 125ft cant always get you to nearest tree or a secure object....Im looking for 150ft 3/8's as an extra winch line for them long pulls to add to my 100ft rope thats on my 8274 ...250ft will be a blessing if needed

Seem to be finding some dealers around here now. Found one company in Edmonton with
100' double eyed lines, just what I'm looking for. So email sent.

I will be curious to see
what the local prices will be. I didn't realize that Compressor Winch weighed so much, so maybe
replacing the wire with synthetic over the next year.

Thanks, that is what I had in mind. I'm searching for cheaper source now. That price is ridiculous
