So, running a saw in forestry work

£100 a day

 

And running a tractor charging £500 a day

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

£500 a day for a tractor is la-la land, at least round here. £250 more like it but there are at least 2 contractors in west Devon / east Cornwall doing tractor work for well under £200/day. Nutters.

Ok fair do's. Not what iwas used to when i was hand cutting. Thanks for picture.

Come on Marc, no one should be expected to work 7 days a week endlessly. Running about in a £200 motor will only last so long.

 

What are these people going to put in place to substitute a pension? After all do you want to be paying people's pensions because they were never able to earn enough?

 

Most people that are on benefits are in work. The likes of me and you make up the difference in their pay because business owners don't pay a living wage.

 

I despair at times!

 

No, i completely agree egg, though one shouldbe expected to put alot extra in when trying to build a business, not just have it fall on your lap.

Mind you egg, my bro still runs round in a £200 motor making a living haha. His choice though, he could have whatever motor he wished, just chooses that way.

struggling to get £120 a day.  Its hard work and I wonder if its really worth it.  Seems a lot easier ways of making money.  Perhaps not as enjoyable though

[Mark Wileman]

Rates are shit, I earn more as a semi-skilled labourer on a building site than I do climbing 5 days a week.

[Rough Hewn]

Yep, been offered £80 a day by two companies.
That's with your own kit and fuel.
