Large stump grinder hire hampshire

Guys

 

I have 14 stumps to come out between 30 and 40 inches. I'd like to know if i can hire a bit of a bad boy for this job ie carlton 4012 minimum sort of size, bigger if possible (even a tractor at a push). I need to know what, if anything I can get my hands on before i put the price in. Also would £2.50 and inch be too much for this many stumps? Have done plenty of grinding in the past but this is the first serious job i have quoted myself. If anybody can help in anyway then that would be most apprieciated.

I'm in Farnham, Surrey if you get stuck. I hire myself and my 50hp grinder out on a day rate or a priced basis

Price per inch is the wrong way to go, two 12 inch stumps are not the same area as one 24 inch stump the 24'' stump is bigger

Ok. Good advice, i can see your point with the inch thing. On that basis then is there a more accurate way to price the stumps without bringing too much guess work into it. Obviously fuel and teeth have to be taken into consideration anyway. So far I have measured all the stumps, adding up the total in inches and going by £2.50 per inch. Should i be allowing more or reducing price due to the number there are. I do want to get the job however imo there is a lot of work there so dont want to get my fingers burnt.

A big grinder with operator should be around the £300 per day mark imo, after all it only costs £250 for a new JCB with driver for a day around here, the days of big money for stump grinding are long gone.
