purchased a mule 610 se back in 2015 to use primarily to move snow....., had local dealer install warn 2500 winch and cab enclosure. along with a moose 5 ft plow..................the winch uses standard wire cable, which has worked well for plowing..........while i do not have the amount of property you do, i plow out many neighbor's driveways as they are the older residences that simply cannot do it.............i am unfamiliar with synthetic cable, but have only had the wire break once..............the mule is an excellent plowing unit, it will push a lot of snow............the one thing you should think about, if your new unit doesn't have it is HEAT...............plowing can get cold, even if you have a cab enclosure............i looked at the factory "heater", which is an engine enclosure that directs heat to the cab............i didn't think that would be sufficient, so i rigged up a 2200 watt portable generator in the bed, and plug in a standard milk house style heater in the cab...................in addition, i use the 12 volt cigarette lighter style plug in the mule to run a small 12 volt fan, to direct air on the windshield..............i have plowed with this set up for several years, and it works like a charm............i get the job done, while remaining toasty warm in temps that have reached down into the single digits...................good luck with your purchase, and enjoy your new "toy".............
