Horizontal Pull Question

Howdy all I’d appreciate some input on this question i’ve been wondering about for quite some time.

I’ve never been to keen on doing seated cable rows for back because I don’t usually feel like its very effective compared to other exercises but i kept it in my routine just cuz it seemed to cover a horizontal pulling action like nothing else. Now the machine is busted at my gym and I’m afraid if I don’t replace it with something similar I won’t be getting proper horizontal pulls for my shoulders.

Anyone know of alternatives or think that other back exercises are adequate enough? I also do pull-ups and bentover barbell rows but these arent quite the same angle as cable rows.

This should help…
