I filled 4 m/3 bags in under an hour tonight

 

So £80 + VAT per hour or £640 + vat per day.

 

Nice work if you can get it :thumbup1:

 

2,of us did 32, .75 cb bags in the day not sure what that is in cubes ,& it wasnt all nice clean straite stuff :biggrin:

At £40 per cube processing I don't believe you would get too many repeat customers, we did it a few years back at £30 per hour all in (man, boy processor, tractor and chainsaws etc etc).

 

As mentioned on other threads we do get £60 per cu mtr bag but that covers all stages from growing tree to delivered firewood so it is hardly for doing nothing.

 

We have a guy up the road selling 1.2m bags of softwood at £40 if you collect and another couple of guys at similar prices so opportunity to get the price up is limited.

 

I tend to sell the firewood we produce from thinnings or windblow that we need or want to clear anyway rather than looking to scale it up.

 

Cheers

I have sussed out why there is such a difference in price you live north of Watford and the cost of living is much cheaper. A £90,000 house your way would be £400,000 down here.
