clearance saw

After noon,

 

What is the going rate to charge for use of a man and a clearance saw, per hour or day rate. And what clearance saw/blade combination would you recommend

 

I have just looked at a job 15 ha of 1-10 yr old sitka regrowth to be cleared, leaving the established planted native trees. Sitka to be cut and left on site no chipping required, just not on the retained trees. The ground is a previously clear felled site with stumps/brashmats etc so not suitable for machinery so looks like a manpower job.

Husky 555fxt and their own scarlett blade, I struggled to get 555s from husky uk a few years ago, if they're still being 'interesting' to deal with you can get them easily elsewhere. Much better than the longer shaft rxt models for clearing/respacing

Hi I would think this would be on a per hectare price have a search on FC site and you will proberbley find some info on this subject and pricecs but they may be out of date but yoiu will get a generally idea, sounds a bit like a job we would get offered at this time of year,if you do it get plenty of jungle formula midges and horse fly's will be a pain in the butt.

Job's in Aberdeenshire.

Already got the jungle formula in stock

Husqvarna RXT models only in the UK which is a shame but if there wasn't the demand then that's why they are no longer available here. Purchase from Europe or find another machine but the 555 takes some beating!

Yes that sounds about right but if trees are sub 7cm I would go a little over the 800 if its like a job I think I will get asked to do all regen and trees are about 6inch apart and about 8ft high now will be a b-----d to do.

Sounds pretty similar, my thoughts were go a little over the £800
