I'd go bigger than 1/4" and on a cable you gotta put a chain hold down in the center or the 4 wheeler crowd will just raise it up and keep going.

What size? Where is a good place to get steel cable? I was looking at HF and the largest I saw was 1/4. Just trying to keep it fairly cheap. I would recommend tying 8-10 orange high viz ribbons on the cable just for good measure.

Chain hold down? Like a chain binder? How does this attach to the ground?

12ft utility gate at tractor supply are $99 apiece. I need 35’ or so. Big equipment and trucks use these roads occasionally.

Back when we ran dogs we carried a key with us. This key would cut any cable we encountered. How do you expect the big trucks that occasionally use the road to use the road? I bet they also carry a “key”.

Chain hold down? Like a chain binder? How does this attach to the ground? No binder. dig a post hole , get apiece of 3/8 chain the length you want the cable above ground plus enough to go to the bottom of the hole. Quickrete the chain in the hole. Run the cable through the other end of the chain. Nobody can lift the cable and drive a 4 wheeler under it . I'd also use at least a 1/2" cable.
