Anyone using AmSteel Winch Rope for Starter Rope?

[Joelwk]

I am going to replace the Starter Rope on my 2001 Polaris XCSP 800 and have ordered some 3/16" AmSteel Winch Rope to use. It has 5400 Pound Average, 4900 Pound Minimum Break Strength.

I have heard of a few (but only a few) If are using it, know anyone using it, or know anything about it, please post what you know.

Thanks, Joel

Should work fine. It is catching on for drum line on logging equipment. Plenty strong if you keep from fraying it. I would watch for heat issues down close to the motor where it might be closer to the pipe.

Contact 4z on here for the Fantom rope. HIGH tensile pull rope.

I already have the AmSteel ordered, so unless I learn that it won't work well, I will be using it.

Sorry, I meant to include "AmSteel Blue SYNTHETIC Winch Rope" in the title, but realize now that I left a couple words out.

This is "rope", has no steel or metal in it (at least none that I am aware of) but it is claimed to be STRONGER than steel cable of the same diameter.

If you Google http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=a...ved=0CFcQ1QIoAg, you can read more about it.
