minimum business set up??

[Stihlwatersrundeep]

Anyone have any idea's on a minimum business setup eg- pickup, chipper, chainsaw, top handle saw, pole pruner, bit of old rope (joke!) pl insurance ,anything else? (oh yes and i survived the woods even got home on my own without the need of GPS! woodshed now full.)

Not to take the piss mate but experience helps. I came from a logging background into arbwork and even with that I wish I had worked for another arb company before heading on my own. Trial and error isn't very forgiving in this kind of work. But if it's what you want to do don't let me talk you out of it.

When you start subbing you will get an idea of the kind of kit required. Glad the day went well. You get any pics?

[Stihlwatersrundeep]

got any pics??! sorry due to you lot, i had my hands full watching out for killer trees and angry chainsaws!

seriously thanks for the tips and advice. left the hung trees the rest are in the woodshed the farmer got the what was left.

Still nerve wracking as everytime i went for a cut i felt i had the whole of arbtalk looking over my shoulder either nodding or tutting! still made me think twice before i made a cut and i know there are a few who will tut but i did a few undercuts first where needed to relieve the compression as advised by a member.

just need to get on a course now!

Not as hard as you prob thought i bet.

 

Look forward to a life in the tree is not half bad.:wave:

put it this way i was more mentally tired when i got home (from all the constant thinking) than physically?

is that normal???!!
