Hi Tony
I have 18 meters of 9mm rope only as I wish to keep pulling force up as my 9500lb is sometimes not quite enough.
Carry 2 or 3 extention straps though and find this flexible and lower cost approach.
My rope which came direct from Masterpull USA shows signs of melting on the layer against the drum, despite a nylon cover over its first 2 meters. Doesn't look pretty but doesn't seem to affect strength.
Next time I will buy next thicker size - as only real issue I have had with it is an unanticipated one of the top layer pulling thru to a lower layer under load.
