I process the the brash up the tree, my lad only has to chip the bash or put timber in a stack or on the trailer. I'll occasionally drop a lump he needs to cut up, but not often.

 

I've not used a lower rope in years.

You still haven't told me what you'd charge? [emoji4]


Just out of interest, from another point of view , I personally think its more efficient to cut bigger/if need be rig, and process with two guys on the ground, rather than scrambling around cutting tiny bits off all the time?

One person cutting up the tree takes longer, two guys cutting on the ground quicker...

Depends how you work, save costs by having less guys, or save costs by being efficient,

I've never quite managed to get my head around how the soft southerners in ancient times kept the most productive lands for themselves. I'd guess that the northerners are a lot more generous than we give them credit for ??

It's a pointless question, with respect 

 

a commercial client I'd double that but they would't moan about vat 

up in the north someone would do it to stave of the deathly cold, 

 

round here some hipster fresh out of college with kit bought on daddy's credit card would do it for Instagram likes

They weren't soft back then, its the ease of production on their good ground thats made em lazy ?

I work with a climber who does this !

everything is thrown in a stack all points the same way in the direction you need to drag or feed the chipper !

it's amazing to watch him work he is so fast it's unreal at times !

he does use a lowering rope on the big stuff though
