think 40m is pretty standard for a safari PTO drum without over crowding.

I've got about 30m of 1/2" on mine and the drum is chocka. The last few mwtres of rope has a sleve over it, and it cathes on the cross bar at the back of the winch.
I'd say you will have to cut some off that 40m, but a 10m extension isn't a bad thing to have rolled up in the back of the truck though.
