GETTING STARTED
The size of the tree you want to cut down will determine what equipment you need, but there are generally six power tools you'll use for tree lopping:
- A small chainsaw for the lighter materials and branches.
- A large chainsaw for heavier materials and the trunk of the tree.
- A log splitter to make the larger pieces of wood easier to deal with.
- A stump grinder for getting rid of the stump after the tree has been cut down.
- A chipper for turning the timber waste into mulch or making it easier to dispose of.
- A cherry picker to provide a stable platform for you to stand on when lopping the higher branches.
