Arb pays better than hand cutting for the most part because it's a service industry rather than primary production.  Good money can be made if you are good and on production. 

 

Ticket wise depending on where you are and what your doing your 30 31 will see you fine cutting coppice. If you go hand cutting edge trees and oversized you need your medium/large/assisted depending on who you are working for and the land owner.  FC love tickets.

 

Then you you things you don't use often in Arb but use a lot felling. Wedges bars turning strops winch. Jacks and if you fell a lot mechanical wedge. 

 

I love felling but the drive to and from site can really kill any money to be made. I've done 2 hours to and from site and then a day's work. Makes it a minimum wage day.
