Call'em back and say ok.. I will get my ladder and cut the 7.2 kv off per your instructions... And if anyone is injured It will be your policy that is liable.
Bet you will get some attention out of them!!!!!!!! They can claim anything they want, but the 7.2kv is 100% their problem... Just because they dont want to spend money, its still their problem. Did they get an easement for the primary power line? That is further proof that it would be their problem. Even though you had to pay for the power extension, they OWN those poles, wire and transformer. The meter loop is your and the meter pole, if separate, is yours. I was 40 years a utility engineer and it was very very common for the utilities to bluff and bully there way. But usually a stand up and request it in writing, got them to back down in a hurry. If those poles are yours, tell them you will charge them a pole contact fee for each item, every year, as each utility does to others who share their poles.
Down here is it the property owners responsibility to notify them of tree encroachment , but 100% the utility's responsibility to keep the lines clear and safe, once they have been notified on private property. If not notified, you can NOT sue them for damages or power outages due to tree damages on private property,, (or so they claim.) They have crews that periodically clear the power leads, even the ones on our ranch going to the remote wells. And what ever they use to spray the brush works very very very well.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
