I have heard 175 feet.

Dont forget the rated line pull of your MU2 is for the first layer of cable. Each additional layer tremendously reduces the line pull.

Here in the Northeast with tons of trees for anchors, I run 100 feet. More than enough even for a double line pull. Out in the west in the wide open you might want more cable...but at a loss on power

Look at the PACCAR/Braden Web site;

Scroll down to Low mount worm gear winches, then look at the MU-8, which is somewhat near our MU-2. CLick on more information and look at the line pull vs layer chart.
