Fair price?

[Treeworld]

Been offered a lot of Ash coppice to fell on a stacked in woods deal 3 metre lengths, brash to be burnt. The site is excellent and not many obstacles around. We won't have to deal with extraction to hardstanding or forwarding to mill just after opinions on price being offered which is £15 a tonne at weighbridge. There won't be much delay from felling to weighbridge.

 

Thanks for any input

Are you meaning £15/T standing?

 

If it's failry small diameter stuff and you have to burn up I'd say it's a little high maybe.

i think reading again, he has been offered the felling @ £15 per ton over weighbridge:confused1:

They are paying £15 a tonne felled and stacked in woods.

Wouldn't moan at 15 for that sort of job

my gut feeling is that its a fair price and also in the mix is that its for 3 years work nov-march:thumbup1:

Thanks, no part timer here, looking to go in and hit it see how it pans out over the first few loads. Confident it will be worthwhile.
