Looking for Forwarder and Driver to Hire

[Devonseano]

Morning,

 

Does anybody know of a forwarder and driver I might be able to hire on a day rate in Cornwall please? Probably about a weeks work.

 

Thanks,

Sean.

Yes can do. Both our forwarders are purpose built requiring low loader to site; you say a weeks work, what volumes are we talking? Thanks.

Hiya,thanks for your message.

 

There are a couple of elements to the job, clearing up windthrow is one, not a huge volume (probably <50m) but widely spaced and we don't have any kit to transport it, but can skid it to track side.

 

We could do with numerous small brash piles being moved into a couple of big ones ready for a burn, hoping a forwarder could do that.

 

Also got up to 300m of larch on the ground which we'd like to get to the entrance, though we're also loking at other ways of doing that (see my post in the Firewood Forum).

 

It's a bitty job and I appreciate that there'd be haulage costs to consider but can't really think of another way of getting it done. Looking at doing the work in spring when it's (hopefully) drier. I think a small forwarder would be best knowing the volumes and the site - what have you got?

 

Thanks.

Got FMG Bruunett 578 and newer Timberjack 810 (both small); can put tractor and crane trailer in but not a fan of that setup tbh. PM on its way.

Hi i subby for a guy who may or may not be able to help he has a cracking set up he is on hear as Bruks.

[Devonseano]

Thanks for the tip, though from a quick look it looks as though he's a fair way up north from here, like proper up north, not just Plymouth. Haulage etc wouldn't make it economical.

 

Ta,

Sean.

Yes bruks is north Yorkshire based so transport would be a fortune.
