Started shopping around for a new rope to use with my hh2. Just wondering if anyone has some recommendation based on actual experience using the rope with that device climbing SRT. I've been using New England km3 for the last couple of years which works okay but I'm looking for an arborist...
Really appreciate all the replies guys. I'm happy I asked. I've been in buisness for just over 2 years and haven't wrecked anything yet but still very cautious and never stop learning. I did on the other hand turn down a number of jobs that were close too or tangled in the lines.
Hey Matt if I get the job I'll let you know if you want to come out I'll pay for your expenses. You can also try your old saw I'm sure you miss it. I'm sure I'll also learn a thing or two about working near power.
Thanks for the reply. Even though I certainly wouldn't say "I don't know what I'm doing" I admit that I need training and will be getting training as soon as a course is offered in my area.
Your right I don't have training for working near electricity, that's why I was asking on here" even that doesn't justify proper training by any means at all" as far as gear goes the safest way to do it would be a bucket truck which I don't have. I do have all the appropriate climbing gear and I...
When I looked at the tree today I told myself yeah I can do that, but I don't have experience working near the 3 phase, did all kind of work around the feed that goes to the house, just wanted to hear from experience guys what they thought
I'm out Saint John way. Thanks for the offer but I'll handle this one, feeling good about it. Ya never know in the futur if I get something I need an extra hand with I see you live in Fredericton, pretty handy
Yeah like you said the limbs are small especially at the level of the lines and above, easily managed. Pretty sure I'll be alright just wanted to get a few opinions. Thanks.
Didn't take a picture but just stole this one off google earth, not the best but gives you an idea...like I said the stem would be close to 10 feet away. I don't have the line clearence course but I would like to get the certification sooner than later so I get a better understanding of power...
Sorry it's not triplex, my bad...it is the primary lines without insulation. 3 lines side by side about a foot apart... the one that would fry me if I would become a path to ground.
Yeah, planning on aubviously climb on the opposite side of the tree and using my non-steeled core lanyard. Just hate the idea of having my Spurs into the wood.
I looked at a job today and one of the tree " spruce" is close the the power line. Not the house feed but the triplex. There are long branches under the lines that can be dropped with no problem and the power company has trimmed the tree before where it would have touched the lines...above the...
