Someone recommended polysteel (available on eBay) a few weeks ago. You can get it pretty thick (32mm from memory) and it’s cheap.

Using stein rigging rope, rated at 3 ton with a tirfor winch.
For 70m you'd probably need 2 ropes.

A good general purpose rope is the normal poly rope,  if you are pulling over big sticks without a winch and are tying directly to the tractor I would go for the 32mm poly rated at 13 tons. its a criminal waste to use a quality rope off the back of a machine

 

This gear is good  and so is the company  https://www.ropeservicesuk.com/32mm-black-polypropylene-rope-220-metre-coil?search=32mm poly rope&description=true&sort=p.price&order=DESC

I bought a 50m 25 or 27mm polysteel rope ages ago for pulling trees over etc with the tractor. Decent rope just bulky but does job well
