How much should I charge to take down and remove this Cedar.

Sixty foot tall...1 metre base diameter and fair old drag through utility room and garage to get it to a chipper and vehicle. Any opinions about how many loads of chip/logs. P.S. Is Cedar wood worth anything

[Billy]

Around £1000 if drag out is as bad as it sounds. 1 load of chip 2 loads of logs.

Lots, it sounds a right pain of a job. No other way to get it into a neighbours property in exchange for some free cedar firewood and an easier drag.

Can you get them to keep the chip and hire in a cs100 then you've saved a good bit of time dragging brash

But would the chipper fit through? I tried to get mine through a garage/utility/office that had a few corners and no joy. The length of the chipper doesn't do it much favours for squeezing through houses.

 

 

Looks like the tree would drop in one? There's a bit less work.

I use a jo beau m300 for back garden jobs like this. only 700mm wide so gets through most doors, and can fold or remove the feed chute to reduce the length. Handles anything upto 75mm diameter easily. great machine and can throw the chips upto 5m on a good day! Looks like you could loose the chip on site under the bushes as mulch. That just leaves you the logs to carry out on a sac trolley. Any reason why you can't clear fell to where you took the photo from? Looks like it should go from what i can make out on the pic.

Thanks all..... Never considered a clear fell. Don't think the pic really shows the size. It really is a big mother. If I get it I will post pics and feedback etc

It's the heavy you need to watch out for. 1m dia?

I'll see Billy's £1k and raise you £150.

They'll be a lot of dust to rake if you're handballing it out.
