90 Mellis Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I'm after 4 x Ropes to kit out mine and some mates Trucks. All 11mm 100ft with Competition Hook, Thimble and Hawse Fairlead. Any suggestions on Suppliers, looking for good quality rope but looking for a good price Thanks in advance Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugwash Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Andy at Ruftraks every time Best would be to get a price for 500ft of unrigged and sell the spare 100ft to someone else get the hooks and thimbles from Anton at OEC4x4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BogMonster Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Just to buck the trend, I'd also ask David Bowyer - you might get a discount if ordering several May be worth asking for a couple of quotes and see who will do the best deal...

100inch Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Andy@Ruftraks every time. And it is Plasma 12 Rope...still the one.m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Bowyer gets my votes, rope lasts well too in my experience, only broken one rope in HW series and it had done 5 halfway through 6th event with no cleaning and little care of use - 11mm Bowrope that was. DB always up for a deal too - def worth a call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

white90 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I've had/Got Plasma12 Now a spare Bowrope on the Warn twin motor Amsteel Blue On the Husky I haven't broken the Bowrope yet, it is 12mm though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderman Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I havent broke any of my 12mm Bowropes , But Ive done a couple of 11mm ropes in Ians Bog . And IIRC Ian was marshalling tempting me into conceeding Or was it Lovers ?? But all the same we tied a blood knot from the broken end to the hook and carried on .

jacks906 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 whats the marlow dynaline like in comparison to the rest only woundering also is this the bowrope you all talk about being the good stuff as i thought it was white the good stuff not blue dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milemarker Type S Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 is this the bowrope you all talk about being the good stuff as i thought it was white the good stuff not blue Yes that is the stuff... My 11mm has taken a hammering this year and only broke once- it was caught on the edge of a steel lip on my bumper doing a silly sideways pull at the time to be fair... David is a top man- well worth asking for his best price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacks906 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 will be ringing him in the next few weeks when i get me card back after the cash machine nicked it lol delt with him before for me winch motor very very helpful just making sure it was before i buy the wrong stuff as all the stuff i've seen is white or is it just a die used in it? dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young bobtail Rhys Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 How about plasma 12 from first four? I don't think the breaking strain is as high, maybe 1000kgs different or so, but they are cheaper. What would be recommended out of plasma 12 or bowrope? I would like to know as I will be looking to buy around 125ft of 12mm rope soon and was going to buy plasma 12 from first four Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Plasma12 or Bowrope seem the most popular, Anybody use Scorpion's Marlow???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escape Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 At the moment I'm using Plasma 12 from First Four. Very happy with it, but not used much yet. A mate of mine is planning to buy a bulk of dynema fishing rope, essentially the same generic stuff, but with a protective coating. Might be worth a look as weel, price would be 10€/m.

bobtail84 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Plasma12 or Bowrope seem the most popular, Anybody use Scorpion's Marlow???? I use Marlow dynaline 12mm and its about the best Ive had. Its not cheap but very good. Also we bought 200m on a drum from a recovery supplier and made the ropes in to 6x30m lengths and because there was a bit extra on the end we had a 25m leftover, just right for a rear winch..
