2 man tean with chipper

[Buzzsurgeon]

Every quid makes a difference, even an extra £5 per day could equate to £1200 per year.

[Johny Walker]

dont know about a 2,man team but this 1, man out fit has grossed £1750 on his own ,& i mean on my own ,you only get out what yr prepared to put in , i get on so i get the rewardas ,

[Dr.Green]

what would you think is a fare price for truck , 125 and a groundy/backup climber subbyin out???? £200 sound fare

[Mark Bolam]

You're halfway there mate.

You're halfway there mate.

im guessing he means he is the backup climber and groundy, so in effect how much for him and the chipper in which case £200 isnt far of for a TW125

[Mark Bolam]

Hire a truck (which he clearly states).

Hire a TW 125.

Hire even a half decent climber.

Then do the maths.

£200 is a piss-take.

 

I should know, I did it for years.

in cornwall it is fairly easy to get a second climber , truck and chipper and own saws for £200 a day , mind you i know of at least 3 firms that suply a truck,chipper and two men with saws climbing gear etc for £270 a day !!! not even worth getting out of bed for tbh .

[Matthew Storrs]

blimey fair play if you can get it, i don't get much more for me and my tracked chipper if im subbying out. if i was too much more theyd just hire a chipper from the local for £120 and a good groundy can be found for £80-£100.

[Mark Bolam]

I hear you fellas, but those prices are unsustainable long term.

 

I've been through this, and it doesn't add up at £200/day.

 

Where have you been hiding Dave? Welcome back mate!
