This is the 3/4 bull rope we're using on this pipeline Job. Not familiar with it, and the core just looks like multicolored yarn. Some cheap knock off, or is it ok? Thanks for any insight.

Those photos aren't really clear. If you want to get a good rough guide on the strength, then cut open about a foot of the rope and take it apart so we can see the internal construction. That will let us see if it's single braid, double braid, kernmantle etc... and then separating the inner and outer, do they both melt when a soldering iron is applied? Likely nylon. If not, do they burn under a flame? If yes then likely natural fibre. If they neither burn nor melt then you may have something more exotic like kevlar/aramid/technora etc.

Just an update, I finally I'd've this rope. It's made by Atwood ropes, called a dozer II. Not even sold as an arborist rope, and a 3/4" is rated at 1500# wll, 15k break strength. Def less than I would expect of a 3/4 bullrope. And What a Deal from thé local Stihl Dealership At Only $279.! Just goes to show ya, son'y judge a Book by its cover.
