Four Pops

[Mick Stockbridge]

wow are all you guys estimating to fell or pollard ????I would of gone in at 400 a day and said 2 days....they look piddley too me and pops are easy to work on 2-3 in a day would be easy!...so at £800! damn i must be too cheap

 

You can do it for me if you like, I,ll even give you £900 and bed n board lol. Honestly those pics dont do it justice.

Mick, if those Pops are at Foxhunter be careful. Loads down there have had joint failures at the old pollard points. Not nice trees to be snatching heads off themselves, for sure.

 

Good luck with the job wherever it is. I'm off down to the pool with a couple of cold Tooheys. 31deg in Brissie. Ahhhhh........

They are on the Isle of Sheppey Mark, where is Foxhunter ?

[Mark Bolam]

Monkton in Thanet, mate. They layout looks very similar. They have literally hundreds there. I swore I wouldn't do another one. They were failing all over the place 'cos they havn't been repollarded since '88. Ross Smith did a few as well and enjoyed it about as much as I did.

 

If they are similar, they are probably a fair bit bigger than they appear in the pics?

Would love to mick but stacked untill mid april! your right though you need to get a feel for the job by seeing and walking around....photos aint no good,good luck with the job it looks a winner to me:thumbup1:

Nice1 for winning the job and at the £2000 mark it seems a good price.

 

Out of interest did you win it by being the lowest?

Just wondering that with all those targets did the customer still want the cheapest job possible?

i did a job from photos last friday as it was 70 miles away hoped to be done by 2 pm and home for tea

still logging up and grinding stump at 6pm

twin stemed chestnut looked like could ring down with ms200t and actually stuggled with a 372 and the bottom stem had to be felled using 2 1/2 felling cuts

still a load of logs on site

I hope I didnt offend you with the above post I wasnt implying that you yourself were cheap, If you get my drift.

Not at all mate. I did,nt get chance to reply to youre question because I got embroiled in that "tree officer" thread. I dont know whether I was the cheapest, but imagine I was.

Seems like fair money for the job Mick. Money's better in your a/c.

 

Just got back from pricing 12 x 60' leylandii, reduce to 25', only 1 mile away so went in at

£800 gave me job straight away. Apparently other guy at £450 went up first tree today and bottled it...lol. Another guy went at 1pm at wanted £1300. It's only a days work, climb, rope, pull and can get mog right under trees. All wood to stay in lenghts on site, 3 load chip away.
