Best thing is to ask the supplier what they recomend.13mm Portland braid was crap when wet (grabbed too much).I am using 14mm at the mo,its a bit thick for most stuff but I got it wrong when I ordered.

 

I have some 17mm tennex for the big stuff,I got it free and its ace.

 

There probably are lines best suited to them.Google might be the best bet if it picks up info from other forums.

As a proud owner of one the title of this thread made me laugh. These past weeks we have used 2 grcs on the same job and it has made things amazingly smooth. Strips of railway embankment with leaning red pine and larch (37M was the tallest!) were efficiently cleared because of the two grcs. Lifting, lowering and pulling from the same spot with a long rope and a bunch of re-directs ! We moved the units 1ce over the 100m stretch.

I did notice that the newer and bigger harken winch (46) seemed to entwine the rope when lowering, I mean that the wraps would jump over and under each other. Anybody else had this. We used 12 and 14mm ropes.
