I am not talking about line. I am talking about using the strap off of a boat winch there will be more surface wearing on the fairlead and making it wear longer. I am only taking about using it to lift the plow which it would be more than enough. To use the winch to pull something heavy you would have to switch back to the cable or winch rope.

The guy came over yesterday from my local forum with a fid set and spliced a loop in the rope for me, can't tell the difference from one that you would buy that way, he did a great job on it

I have a spare boat winch strap at the lake, next time I'm out there I'm gonna bring it home and try it for plowing just to save the rope for pulling.

Thanks, I'm gonna try it out, lots of people have said it works good.
We got another good snow fall last night and its still coming down, did my place and 5 others and the rope is doing fine.
Anti-theft device on boat is in place

I do quite a bit of plowing and use the steel cable. Yes it frays over time and snaps.
I simply make a clean cut and use a u clamp. There's something like 50 FEET of cable on the spool! Why would you waste your $$ and replace the whole thing?
I found that if I raise the plow just enough without bottoming-out the winch, the cable fraying is reduced.
BTW, NICE PICTURES!!

I replaced it with rope mainly because I don't like cutting my hand up every time I use it.
