Steve, Rope is usually sold in 600 and 1200 foot rolls. My crews use 7/16" Kernmantle on most jobs. 5/8" for big stuff.
We have small rope bags with 5/16" Kernmantle that gets carried up and thrown down. Then the bigger stuff is pulled up. The bags will store 500-600' and it plays out of the bag fine without binding. All of our other rope is carried in garbage pails with covers. Two handles make it easy to carry and it stays watertight when snapped closed. You can find 600' of 1/2" Arborist Rope on E-Bay for about $250 includes shipping. Longer lengths will cost considerably more.
