| If you are going to be doing any "work" on your property, then get the wire. | |

| The rope is much lighter. It holds up pretty well in mud and rocks. Hell that is all we ride in. | |

| Rope is great, but keep a 10' and a 20' cable with ya with a couple shackles and you will be set. maybe a snatch block. | |

| I've had both. I found that you don't have to worry so much when winding up rope. Cable has to be wound without overlapping or you will kink it. On snow plows, I found rope does not self lock after multiple lifting of short distances like the steel cable did. | |

| I replaced the wire on mine with rope (from KFI) a few months back.. I like it it requires less maintenance plus it is safer if it was to break.. I have the 1/4 rope rated at 7700 I think.  | |

| I put rope on my Teryx and snapped it. But whats nice about it is you just tie it in a knot and your good to go. I think the wire is a lot better BUT I still use the rope. | |

| I like rope much better. Just a lot easier to handle. I carry a couple straps and a snatch block. I've pulled my RZR uphill sideways with out the rope breaking. Ever been around a steel cable when it breaks? Even if its a little tougher its also more dangerous. | |
