How much is being paid? Whats it doing?

[taffupatree]

hiah mate how long is the contract?

[Tree Care South West]

On this first site there is about 5000 tonnes of timber to be felled. The species and size of trees are mixed - all conifer though. As a cutter you will be paid per tonne you cut and stack. The first site is hopefully to be done in 6 weeks then another site is to be started which will most proberly be down south more.

 

The rate is £9 tonne for logs and bars, £13 for fencing and £6 for chip. The location is just down the road from Brierly along the A4136 on a forestry commisson site. As you get paid for what you cut down then you can do how every many days in the week you like to work around yourself. You will have to supply your own fuel.

 

you will get paid every 2 weeks and when your wood is extracted out of the woodland.

 

There is land to camp on which will only be a couple of quid a night. own tent required.

 

hope this helps. any questions then please ask.

paid every 2 weeks AND when the woods extracted?!! where do i sign?!!

[Logrover]

hmmm i agree,,harvester all the way!! as a cutter you have to stack as well??? cant be right..........ever tried to pick up a decent sawlog or bar???:biggrin: hmmm also on a saw all day you can cut 10 tonnes plus easily but with the cost of fuel is it worth it! love the camping idea but id not fancy weeks of camping with possibly no shower!!

as a side note the cutter will lose money in tonnage due to the weight loss of timber as it dries in the weeks before its extracted as well!! id love to have a few weeks cutting like in the old days tho!!

Hi,

 

What about qualifications, experience and insurance? What are you after in this respect?
