average fuel usage

[Aspen@AAOIL]

How much fuel do you guys get through per day on average?

 

it would be really helpful if some of you could help me get some figures.

 

if you could put roughly how much fuel you get through per day and what task it is you are doing to consume that then that would be excellent

 

thanks in advance!

i felled a 50 ft white poplar cut into rings with a 361 and 660 and used approx 6 ltrs fuel if that helps

It can vary. I've done a days site clearance with my 660 and used 4L. But done domestic work and wouldn't use more than 2 in 2 saws and a blower combined. I would average it at 2-3. A each day is different.

2 litres on average for saws and blower

[jrose]

variable - if I'm hedge laying, the saw is doing a lot of idling and isn't used all day, so 6-7 litres a week. A day cutting logs I'd use 6-7 litres a day, strimming all day I'd plan on 10+ litres.

No more than 2.5 litres max on utilitys but on big jobs weve gone through 10 litres in a day.

street trees is 3.5-4ltrs a day per 3man team

In winter a jerry can a month(20l) summer time probably nearer 2, the blower uses the most.

we got through ALOT today on 2 hedge trimmers and a blower must be more than 3 litres. same again tomorrow so i'll get a more accurate reading.

 

i'd be interested to hear from people who use strictly aspen, to see how it has affected their pricing. hopefully in the future, when i have my own business, i can buy big drums of aspen - i hate the drowsey feeling from 2 stroke fumes in your lungs!

5-10 litres a day production cutting.
