Undercut by a pro today

[Le Sanglier]

not for one minute saying saying iam the only man for the job and the only guy with the kit and access is a dream however that price he gave is doing it for free. open forum opinions are opinions an thats mine. i would like to know how hes so cheap. and just spoke to another guy who does stumps and he said the same maybe were just too expensive

 

Ok fair enough, but out of interest how long would it have taken you and what machine?

i would of allowed two days but i think a full day might suffice it was an old hedge an combination of sycamore and elm stumps all suckering so basicly i will be rotavating a 1 meter wide by 10 meters long strip the ground is built up around the stumps so there is about a foot of crap thats built up over many years blar blar

So therein lies the rub, you competitor gambled on a day. Ps you didn't say what machine you use!

£900 - £1000 a day for stump grinding, no wonder you were undercut, if it was 2 full days then i would say thats more like it

I've cut a few garden trees down for friends just for the wood and only accidentally demolished one shed To be honest it was rotting away anyway so I just speeded up the process. I am 61 and have trailer will travel

I've paid a grand for a days stump grinding before.

 

Well worth it. The guy and his remote predator did in one day what would have taken me a week.

 

6/7' Pop Stumps took about 30 mins !!!!!
