ArboristSite Lurker
Hello everyone,
been finding this site amazing. I have about a decade of saw use since I was 14. I just bought a MS270 18" and placed some ads in the local papers to try and get some work for the saw. I plan on getting labonville chaps and have steel toe chippewa heels already, they should work right? I dunno if I really need caulks or if I could put them in myself? Anyway my main question is :
I won't be doing too much felling (for customers anyway) maybe a tree here or there or a snag, but will be limbing and bucking alot, from downed trees. Do you think a turtle aluminum hat is better or a faceshielded husq. hard hat with muffs? Seems like the faceshield would do exactly that, protect your face, better than a turtle helmet. No doubt I will deffinetly need a good hard hat for the years ahead. Pickin up the 270 tomoro!
Any suggestions on how to get clients? We had a storm up here in MA this winter and crews are going crazy! Been sawing awhile but just starting to get into the business of it all. Cut some trees here and there while I garden too. Funny my boss cuts alot of the trees and she makes the back cut about 6 inches lower than the undercut, needless to say the trees fall very awkwardly, she said she worked for a arborist, but I think she might be full of ####, doesn't this sound like a dangerous felling technique if it is one
