Expert Reply:

None of the Dutton Lainson winches like the part # DL24872 that you referenced have close to that length of wire rope and are not able to support that additional length due to the size of the drum and the strength rating of the winch.

If you can get by with close to that length, the best recommendation I can give you is the Bulldog Winch Utility Winch # BDW10004 which has 85 feet of cable. To get past the 90 feet of cable if you absolutely need that length you would need the Bulldog Winch Standard Series Off-Road Winch # BDW10041 which is a significantly stronger winch but does have 100 feet of cable. With either of these options, you will need to use a converter compatible with the amperage draw of the winch like # 34266912 since there isn't an AC winch to meet your specific needs.
