Lucas mill job in Cambridgeshire

[little&large]

Hi all,

 

I have a large Oak fell job coming up soon and the client has requested to have the main stem milled, it is in a rear garden so trailer mounted mill is a no go. Too much and too time consuming for my Alaskan so i wondered if anyone has a Lucas mill in or would be prepared to travel to the Cambridgeshire area (near Peterborough) i havent got the measurements yet but i would estimate it would be a REALLY good day poss day and a half with the Alaskan. If interested would you be able to give me a guide/day price inclusive of travel, fuel etc so i can inform my client of cost. Tree will be coming down in the next 4 to 5 weeks.

 

Private message if you prefer.

 

Many thanks.

 

Andy.

Do you have a cutting spec?

 

Fairly self-evident, but slabbing at 3in is a lot quicker than a load of 1in boards, and quarter sawing is infinitely slower than through and through, which will significantly affect time, fuel, band/blade/chain wear and hence price.

Cheers for the reply - i will need to confirm with client but i was working on doing 3in slabs straight through - if i was using the alaskan.

 

Cheers Andy.
