Genuine Buyers Products 20-foot replacement pull rope (part #3008225) for manual dump trailer and dump body tarp systems. This is the factory-original rope assembly that installs on all Buyers Products DTR, DTG, DTT, and DTP series tarp kits — as well as most Mytee Products DTR kits and other 20-foot pull-rope tarp systems used on contractor dump trailers, landscape dumps, and commercial dump truck bodies.

If your tarp pull rope is frayed, weathered, stretched, or snapped, don't replace the whole tarp kit — this direct-fit replacement rope gets your tarp system back in service in minutes. At 20 feet, it's sized for tarps up to roughly 13 feet long (industry rule: the pull rope should be at least 7 feet longer than the tarp it controls, to provide operator clearance on the ground or at the cab).

⚙️ Why Drivers and Contractors Keep This on the Shelf

• Factory OEM specification — identical to the rope shipped inside new Buyers Products DTR/DTG/DTT/DTP tarp kits. No fit or length guesswork.
• 20 ft length — fits Buyers and Mytee DTR-series tarps from 6×10 up through 7×14 size.
• Weather-resistant braided polypropylene — won't rot or swell like natural fiber rope, and resists UV degradation, hydraulic fluid, and gravel dust.
• Pre-assembled with end hardware — attaches directly to the tarp grommet and operator-side tie-down without splicing, crimping, or additional fasteners.
• Universal replacement — works as a direct-swap replacement on the vast majority of 20-foot pull-rope-style manual dump tarp systems, including Mytee Products, American Tarping, and most private-label DTR-copy kits.

🔧 Installation (5-Minute Swap)

1. Fully extend your existing tarp to the closed position so the old rope is at maximum slack.
2. Detach the old rope from the tarp-side grommet or clip — note the orientation of any end hardware.
3. Detach the rope from the operator-side tie-down hook or cab-mount bracket.
4. Route the new 3008225 rope the same path. Secure both ends to the same hardware points.
5. Roll the tarp out and back in once to seat the rope and check for binding at the roller bar.

💡 Sizing Pro Tips

• Rope length rule: Your pull rope should be at least 7 feet longer than the tarp it controls. A 20 ft rope comfortably covers tarps up to ~13 ft. If you run a longer tarp (7×16, 7×18, 7×20), you'll need a longer replacement — contact us for sizing.
• Replace in pairs: If your rope wore out, the rubber tarp straps (Buyers #5503000 or similar) are probably fatigued too. Good time to refresh both.
• Store out of sunlight: UV is the #1 killer of poly rope. If possible, park with the tarp rolled so the rope tucks under the spool out of direct sunlight.

🔄 Commonly Ordered With

• Rubber tarp straps with S-hooks (Buyers Products or equivalent)
• Rope tie-down hooks (Buyers Products anchor hardware)
• Anti-sail retention bow for the rear tarp pocket
• Crank handle assembly (Buyers #5541201 / 5541200 replacement crank)
• Replacement mesh or solid vinyl tarps sized to your dump body

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this work if my Buyers tarp kit model isn't listed above?
Almost certainly yes. Buyers has used this same 3008225 20-foot rope assembly across their entire manual-pull tarp lineup for years. If your kit has a 20-foot pull rope and uses standard end hardware, this rope fits.

Q: What if my tarp is longer than 13 feet?
The 20-foot rope will be too short. You'll want a 25 or 30-foot pull rope instead. Call us at 517-225-1991 and we can source the right length.

Q: Does this include the spring snap or end hooks?
Yes — 3008225 is the rope "assembly," so it ships with the end hardware pre-attached. Ready to install.

Q: Is this genuine Buyers Products, or aftermarket?
Genuine Buyers Products OEM part, sourced from authorized distribution channels. Same rope shipped inside new Buyers Products DTR/DTG/DTT kits.

💡 Pro Tip: If you run tarp systems on multiple dump trailers or dump trucks, keep 1-2 spare ropes on the shelf. The rope is the #1 wear item on a manual tarp kit, and a 5-minute swap on-site beats an off-day waiting on shipping.
