Hi guys,
A few years ago I opened a tree service business, after spending a few years clearing land and working with the Forrest service before that. Here in rural Kansas, you often don’t have to worry about climbing for removals, but I am now starting to expand north into more residential areas. There, climbing is essential. I have studied and read about climbing as much as I can and feel pretty confident on paper which brings me two my questions. First, I need to purchase a small saw for work in the canopy. A top handle saw is not really in the budget, so what small rear handle saws in the 30-35cc range do you recommend. Right now I am partial to stihl, but I’ve heard their small saws aren’t always the best. Second, I am open to any pointers or tips regarding rigging and climbing — what do you wish you knew when you were starting out?
Thanks!
