Tractor Skidding Winch Rope?

Hi all, we're having to replace the rope on a Norse skidding winch, does anybody know what to replace it with?!

 

We've looked at the Marlow Dyneema rope but it is super expensive! Is there decent alternatives? and I'm not sure what diameter we need to get, the one that being replaced looks about 8mm, we want to get 100m length of it so the price soon adds up!

 

Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated! :001_smile:

I didn't know steel cable was that much cheaper!

 

Its just that rope is what we are used to - its light, easy to run around with, easy on the hands, and safer if it snaps i guess! And it has a higher breaking strain by diameter to steel. but now just realised its 10 x the price!
