Coppice Harvesting Estimations?

[Richard_CT2]

I lack experience and need to quote for felling sweet chestnut coppice, dense, growing 20-24 years. How many tonnes do you think can be felled an hour - based on your own experience?

 

Cheers.

lot of things can change what you can produce in a day like having to work around mature trees like oaks to be left ? are you cutting to length? burning the top as you go by hand or putting in piles ? One thing for sure you will earn your money. also if you lack in experience your not going to be producing much to start with lots of little things you learn as you go along the way cutting chestnut coppice that save you time and a lot of work and sweat and there for putting your production rate up

Trees are trees, and I'm a logger. Why waste time off the saw when you can hire a day labourer to lift an move stuff
