winch cable

yesterday we were hav a clean up in the workshop and found a roll of 9mm wire cable 6 strand , is it to big to fit to my winch or use it as a winch extentsion, a quick measure up my drive looks like over 80 ft of it any ideas

I had 11mm on the Safari, and now run 9mm. 9mm is ok, the shear pins still break first.

Jeezus leave it in the shed and use plasma/synthetic rope, or give it to someone you don't like

Jeezus not everybody is made of money.

If you don't use it on your winch get an eye put in each end & one of those kito clips so you can use it as a shorter length. Zip tie it into a tight coil & throw it in the back when you're on a winching mission. Extra bits of rope can be damn handy on the hard yakka trips.

How does the saying go... you can never have too much horsepower or too much winch rope
