hi all

 

i looked at a job today got 80 stumps to grind out, 10 being about 5inchs, 10 being about 10-15inches and 60 being about 15-25inches. i was thinking about hiring a carlton 7015 as it looks like a beast on the web site. i just thought i would ask for a few views on costings. im not new to tree work or stumpgrinding at all but new to pricing. my first thoughts are 7015 for 3 days. is it asking to much to do just over 25 stumps a day. as its on a golf course they are spread out abit as well.

We have a Vermeer SC60 which is a 60hp tracked machine, it will do a 5" stump in one minute, 10"/15" in 5 mins and a 20" approx 20 mins. It can be towed behind a Land Rover.

 

I guess the time consuming bit is getting between the stumps if they are spread about, the last time we did a job like this we was able to take the Land Rover on site and therefore we could keep putting the grinder back onto the trailer to get it about which saved a lot of time.
