Hi,
Firstly, let me introduce myself, my name is Matt and after 12 years of working in an office I took a very generous severance offer at the end of 2011 with the mindset of changing my career path completely. I've been spending some time with a friend who has his own landscaping business and am really keen on becoming a tree surgeon.
I have enrolled on a training course to gain my CS30/31 and plan to gain some work experience before moving onwards with other certificates. I've a list of PPE that is required for my course but I'm unsure as to which Chainsaw to purchase, would anyone be able to offer any suggestions? I don't want to spend a massive amount but want to ensure I have a piece of kit that is reliable.
Also, would it be of more benefit to take my friends chainsaw to the course as opposed to a brand new one? I only ask because it seems strange to take a new chainsaw to a course that teaches you about maintenance, I'm concerned that if I were to take a new one there might be some aspects of cleaning/sharpening that won't be required and I'd rather ensure I get to give everything a go.
Thanks in advance.
Matt
