Day rate for man + chipper?

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

Query - would be interested to know what is the 'typical range' of prices for a days chipping only (no cutting). I've been asked to carry out several weeks worth of non-stop chipping in a remote woodland requiring my tracked machine. This is basically a case of the land owner wanting thinned out brash chipped for future path substrate...

i can get a 6 inch tracked chipper for 100 quid a day or 400 a week, and i would could get a lad for 50 quid a day to feed it.

i would supply the fuel. delivery is included.

Theres no such thing a typical range. Everyone circumstances are diffrent, every job is diffrent, everyones setup are diffrent and therefore its not as simple as looking up a price. Only you know how much your worth and need to make/day thats the fun of being self employed.

i charged £140 a day all chippings where left on site

personally id go down the route of hiring in someone elses machine. No point wearing out your machine when u can keep it good for wee easy jobs. id just try to make of the labour side of it.

Work out your costs and add plenty profit!!
