I bought a new snow plow for my 2013 500 HO and everybody says to run synthetic rope instead of the stock wire cable. I've purchased the rope and all the sources said to change to the rope fairlead instead of the roller type because the scratches on the rollers from the cable will tear the rope. For all intents and purposes I have never used the winch and have checked the rollers and there are no scratches/nicks to cut the rope. Are there any other reasons, such as the rope getting stuck between the horizontal and vertical rollers, to buy a new fairlead? The new fairlead is only $20 or so, but I see no reason to change it out. I will be keeping the 50ft rope on permanently. Thnx for help.
