Hi i would allow yourself 10 days to do it and then decide how much you want to earn a day i charged a bloke £400.00 for two days with my palax processor to cut and split 8 wheeler load of softwood.Id charge a £1000 if i was you and kane it good luck

get your axe out you lazy buggers

UPDATE

 

I've now seen the load and there are only 3 or 4 pieces of larger diameter stuff. Also there is no rush to get the job done so it can be a filler between other things.

 

In the end I did a deal where i get half the wood. So worst ways I should get 10 loads out of it ( total 25m3 loose loaded split logs) which i have already have customers for.This should gross me about £1600 . (the customer was not going to pay more than £1k if a cash only deal)

 

The other bonus is that it is already seasoned at around 15% mc although this may make the splitting a little more interesting

 

 

As to using an axe or a maul....feel free to bring your own and show me how it's done:lol:

J,

A lot depends on how the customer wants his logs. All at 10 inch for a wee stove,or 20 inch for a boiler makes a hell of a difference. I can do 6 maybe 8 cube a day alone. If the timber is ugly that makes a big difference too. Last measure load I bought worked out at about 2.5 cube to the ton. If your getting Smithy's tractor log splitter it's fast. Think I'd offer the guy day rate with an educated guess......Dave Neill. Is this for a guy with a hotel down in North Ayrshire?

 

no. a farmer in aberdeenshire

U providing B&B?? :thumbup:

 

That was a wild stab in the dark you'd need to see what is there first obviously, if it's just a couple it's manageable. I did this a little while ago, how long do you reckon it took?

 

 

if it was all processor size i think i could do that lot in 2 days maybe less, although photos can be deceptive.

 

but if i had to ring up the oversize pieces to fit the processor as well then two and a half days
