Jenson 530T or 540T IS THE QUESTION

[Johny Walker]

You get 2 types of hoppers, both removable, 540 is slightly wider (900mm width)

 

is it on vary track , if so get the 540

Don't charge by hour, quote for all work. Been stung before so price agreed before i turn up. Customers don't always appreciate what it takes to do our line of work and expense of out lay

Do you charge by the hour?????

 

in all honesty it depends on the job and on the client , i will happily charge by the job/day/hour/volume/or if needed long term fixed price structure . all depends on what the job is and what the most cost effective outcome can be for the customer . for instance i quoted to take down a stand of roadside trees today which included chipping the brushwood and delivering to their compound and then felling the timber and delivering to the compound i gave a price for the job as a whole and the client decided that they would fell the trees into the car park and all i had to do was chip the brushwood and deliver to their compound , i then gave them an hourly cost for chipping as the duration of the job and the amount of trimming out etc would depend on how they felled the trees etc .

Def going to demo 540, finding it hard to find something as good as Jenson

[Johny Walker]

iv had my 530t for 6,yrs been & still isa cracking chipper,1200,hrs on it

[Gedwood]

I hope they don't fell them all on top of each over, takes so much longer tidying up than clearing as each tree is felled. Good luck mate

[Gedwood]

Have to agree with you, lads love ours

For me to chip what others have cut is alway more expensive than me cutting and chipping, but thats just me each too their own

yeah i could not agree more hence the hourly rate i would prefer to watch them chip the lot with a 6 inch chipper rather than do if for them but hey ho as the saying goes "penny wise pound foolish":sneaky2:

But surely by offering an hourly rate, rather than fixed price, they are not aware that they are going to be paying more for less until you have finished?
