Tractorboy16 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Hi, iv just got an 8274 for my hybrid however it hasn't got a rope as the guy is taking the dynema off. Iv never this winch before in great details and was wondering what size wire i should put back on it just whilst i gather some funds and pay some rent at uni before i buy some rope or should i just not bother paying 20 for wire and just save for the rope, I Know it is alot more safer but i realistically won't be using it heavily for a few more years i think. There some new 9mm wire of a warn on the bay for £15 Cheers James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 9 will be fine ask on here though as there are normally loads about cheap Tangoman had a a couple for sale a short while ago you'll need a roller fairlead or steel hawse as well. ps I'd not use wire at all again. pps if I were you I'd save the £20 towards plasma or similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bishbosh Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 If you decide on wire, make sure you only buy NEW. By new I mean NEVER used. Wire is OK for self recovery if used correctly. It is a bit more suspect in the competitive environment due to the threat it poses to others and the fact it is likely to be used harder and less considerately. If you can afford to wait, then I would agree with Tony and save for some Plasma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
