On the note of 10,000lb rope being strong enough, in my opinion, no. That's a rating of about 4.5T which is less than the oka anyway before you get it stuck in anything! Might be good enough with a snatch block but then you're better off getting say a 16mm rope run once at half the length...
Cheers, alister

I have had a Dynema rope on my Warn 16.5Ti for the last 15 years. I imported it from Masterpull in the USA. It was not available in Oz at that time, or if it was it was much more expensive.
Memory says it is 11mm & 10T, but it is a long time ago now.

- 7/16" x 100' of Superline - don't know what the equivalent is these days...
It went on a M15000 Warn winch. It looks like they have gotten better at making it though, looking at the master pull website they have improved the specs since i bought mine i think...

It had no cable.
So many $ later the master pull came in as a 3/8 rope, in 75'.
Also got a larger externsion rope, so that I can put a snatch block to that and double the pulling force,
And some metal buckles etc.
Now to decide on a front or rear install, or using a 2" trailer hitch and moving it as the need suits from one end to the other.
I would envision a solo effort to pull backwards in the direction that I enter the drama??

That is what I did with mine, but can also go one step further and operate it "remote".Holmz wrote: …...using a 2" trailer hitch and moving it as the need suits from one end to the other......
This works better than ever anticipated. The winch can be attached anywhere on the vehicle (or even another vehicle or something else)
The electrical "extension cord" is 4m long. An unexpected feature is that the winch always points in the direction of the cable, so it always winds onto the drum well and does not bunch up on one side.
Theoretically, I can put the OKA back onto its feet if it happened to fall over. Theoretically, that is.
The yellow spreader has been incorporated in the main mount since the pic was taken. The 2 "ropes" are 12T Dynema.
