We charge £120 + delivery for a man and a 11 ton splitter for a full day. Under 4 hours gets charged half day anything over is a full days cost.

£60 + delivery for 4 hours of man plus machine on site? There must be slim pickings on that. Wages for 5 hours (including a bit of travel time) are £36. My 13t thor magik uses 8-12 litres of unleaded in a day so you are easily £6-8 in a 4 hour shift. Just my humble opinion but that is way too cheap.

Cash though eh?

Cash, cheque or bacs. Makes no odds to me... You can get a towable processor for £250 a day with operator with a much higher output so why charge more for the machine to be sat there not earning it's keep, if I could charge more I would :-) this is Pembrokeshire lad, not Paris! :-)

Depends how well we've done that month. The splitter only goes out with me or the business partner and when we have no work for it on the yard.

 

 

 

Can I ask what you are paying that man?

 

 

No, you can't ask!

 

Well, you can, but won't get a satisfactory answer.

The last time one of these threads was about I said I wasn't going to get involved again, so I'll wind my neck in gracefully.

 

Ok Eggs, man gets £70 per day, anything wrong with that?

 

Richie B, yer probably is slightly cheap but we dont make a habit of going out on splitting jobs every week. Your Thor drinks 8-12L a day??? I think the most we have burnt in a day is 5L max.
