That's a chainsaw and splitter job, if u was to sort out all the decent straight lengths then it could be worth u getting a processor up there. To be honest all my work is cutting and splitting arb waste, I reckon me on my own I could crash that out easily in a week if I got stuck in, but I use my processor to do the good stuff and it does save time and my body haha

I've bought and awaiting delivery of a Trak-Met PLD-450 25t semi-automatic Firewood processor to process wood for my biomass boiler, also to work for other people splitting their wood. there's a local forestry guy who's interested in me splitting wood for him locally and willing to put other work my way, probably through him! How much should I charge? by the day 8hrs or by the Metre cubed? My machine when it arrives is capable of 4/6 metre cubes per hour, I've bought a log deck so towards the 6 cubes per hour so with my telehandler and processor and log deck and splitting for 7 hours and say 5 cubes per hour, approx 35metre cubes a day a lot of wood split, what is a fair charge considering my expensive machinery and him giving me some of his workload! he has a very old small farmi processor. Advice would be greatly appreciated Thank You.

As always with prices it depends where in the country you are but I wouldn't advise charging by cube except for regulars because you don't know what the logs will be like - having a lot of small or short/knotty logs will really reduce your production.

 

If it's production speed you're after it's usually better with someone on the loader unless you're doing softwood with a big table.

 

I try to avoid going out but with all new machinery, including a telehandler and 2 men we needed £70 an hour plus transport. That meant we couldn't compete with the people who charge £30 an hour and tow their processor for small jobs but for commercial, as I assume you want, we worked out at 10-15 a cube which is fine.
