they do whats needed, if they get busted cheating the work goes to other companies. no way in hell would any company be allowed to cut all the trees down, but anything in the right-away is allowed to be cut. thees line trimming companies will use a permission specialist to knock on doors to let...

it depends on the contract

looks OK too me as-well. remember to used a spliced line to lower the risk and maintain more strength

remember there is no limbs in the way on the vid. if it can be slowed down, controlled by the climber, and anchored to a tree, this is a nice tool fer some

keep e'm commin Nails, practise makes perfection;) where ya get the suspenders?

tying the bowilne is just as fast, and you dont load the same knot load after load;) its also more safe to support the bowline with a marl or half hitch(what-ever its called) on the heavy stuff.

thanx brother, you do the same;)

we do plenty of power line trees as well, just not every day

i figure that cause removing overhangs and huge skanky shat it all routine stuff in res work. line guys also have the choice to pass up the occasional overhangs and let the vets handle em. i worked for a small company that got all asplund/ lewis cant handle stuff. it is a fact that those 2 huge...

i agree, do whatever it takes to be safe, if you are alowd to hook then hook, hell i did and i would, its just not my job anymore. as far as huge trees sure, but the lines are only strung so high and like I've said already they get rid of the problem trees before they get too bad; IE: leaner's...

well if things ever change;and they very well may, you will need to get with the program or find another job. many climbers can climb very well without hooks, like i said not all climbers are equal;)

from what i recall with doing span work we removed any future hazards making the trees relatively easy. i can remember doing 2-3 trees with one good tip, i cant say the same with residential. also your not working on old/big trees that never been prepped or cut for wires, its mostly routine...

the hardest part is trying to teach a bunch of hook climbers a different style from the norm, many were unwilling to even try. how well were you your first day in hooks?

climbing is hard fer a newguy, going hook-less in not hard once you know what your doing, but takes different technique. it takes more time and more setup, making it more technical. ever climb production prunes without hooks?. line clearance with hooks is easy, no chasing sticks, not much roping...

i did line work in the state of Md, hooks are illegal on trims. our 4 man crew had a quota of a mile per week. the spike law was ignored, without the hooks our 4 man crew could only get 1/4th the work finished at best. the spike law cost more in payroll then the rare fine, so its the first rule...

if the company you work for dont give a rats ass, why should the **** payed workers!!!! hell if osha didnt push hard hats power companies wouldnt either. its my choice to be safe, its my choice who i work for, i choose to care;). you can work power lines, RR, air ports, sha, pipe line and lots...

Power company's are production based, they are insured for the owners safety, they don't care about trees and they sure as hell don't care about employee safety. Spikes are cheaper, faster, and just plain simple. I'd say about 80% of assplungers company field cutters/workers are hispanic...

ms200t crushes the competition the 200t is a tough saw, i backed up my f150 and stopped right on top of the 200t, nothing broke but the bosses heart. i have dropped a few 200t's in my day and very little damage has occurred. i have many years in the biz and I'm also a chainsaw carver, so i...
