Hello You all. Wish I would have found this forum sooner, but o well, I guess now is a good time to start participating.
I have to go do some trimming on some small diameter pine trees in Southwest Florida. I think they are slash pines. Does anyone have any experience on working with small diameter pine trees? The client I am working for said they are about 30 fooot tall and between 4 and 6 inches in diameter. I have yet to see them. The client needs some branches along a fenceline removed on one side. Provided that I could tie in my main climbing line to the strongest leader at the top and place a ladder half way up (that a groundsman would remove) and climb the remaining distance between the ladder and leaders that need to be trimmed, any experience on the safest diameter to be be working? I weigh about 175 lbs.
