Im wondering what is better Hawse or roller and is the Hawse only better because of the angle of use. Just seems like it would be better to have any line on a roller than rubbing against anything. That is unless the whole deal is the PINCH factor of the rollers where the synthetic line can get caught up in between rollers.

A mate of mine sells Dyneema "rope" (althought I didn't buy mine off him) and at the time he recommended the Delrin hawse, although I think aluminium is generally recommended.... Steel Rollers are apparantly a "no-no" for synthetic cable, but I have seen "plastic" rollers used!

Ive got a warn 9.0RC winch that comes with the syn. rope. I have another warn with wire cable. I prefer the syn. a 100 to 1. Sooo much easier to deploy, no permanant corkscrew in the cable if you run it over a sharp angle, weighs much less, no dammit burrs stuck in your hands (wire even goes through gloves) . The 9.0RC comes with a Hawes fairlead. The Hawes is more compact, weighs less, doesnt bind do to no lube(no rollers to lube) and with the syn. rope/Hawes you can make short pulls at angles greater than 90 degrees if needed.(such as turning onesself right side up using a tree that is beside you(please dont ask how I know this)With the syn. rope,Hawes fairlead combo you loose a remakable amount of weight. Downside of syn. rpoe is sunshine. KEEP IT COVERED! It will degrade in direct sun . (cable will rust, rope wont)Its kind of pricey so if I didnt use a winch much Id have to think twice, but when I do use the winch I greatly prefer the syn.rope.
man on the mule. keep it real.
I made a custom hawse as part of the bumper: As to the performance of the line, it is amazing. No worries of using gloves, and very light if you need to drag it up a slope for winching purposes. Defintively makes life easier, but needs to be take care off, as seid before (cover it up, avoid abrasion wile towing, etc.)
