£180 - niamy

Wish anyone would pay that around here for decent cutters as I'd be more inclined to do more again.

140 - 150 is the upper limit I can push and that's normally oversized timber or ugly technical stuff.

The only real way I see it being worth our time is where I can put the tractor/winch/trailer or 360 and grab on site as well to assist and charge a decent rate for whole job.

Luckily most of the forestry we do is what some would call pretty forestry on estates where a tidy job is more important than production or avoiding damage to remaining trees takes priority and they are willing to pay for this service and skills.
