Thanks Phil. I need to fell some dead trees on my land that are leaning toward my fencing and road, so I just ordered 100' of your 5.8" Arborist's Bull Rope from your Amazon store.
Hi Phil, I have a 32 Strand polyester Teufelberger Sirius 12mm bull rope and it was absolutely no good I only use it for the second time and the core crushed-flat and the fibre slapped-broken, when I pulled a 200 pound broken branch down diagonally from tree. What’s the reason for this is it because it has too many strands: 32?
The Teufelberger Sirius bull rope is a great rope for rigging and pulling, but really needs to be used with blocks, pulleys or rings. It will get chewed up pretty easily if you are natural crotching. A lot of double braids, including ours, are braided loosely enough to be spliced. This makes a strong, soft, easy handling rope, but definitely less durable. If you need a very durable, tightly braided rope, the Wonder Rope is the toughest.

Thanks!
I never knew there were so many different types of ropes. Phil does a great job explaining each type and their load limits.
Thanks!
Nice video. Easy to understand but still being very informational
