Extraction cost per m3/ ton

[combined tree services]

Hi guys just looking for opinions / rough prices for extraction only work . The timber is all at the end of racks or accessible to drive to with ease , all timber is in2.4's and well stacked by cutters . The set down for timber is a maximum of half a mile from furthest timber and the quantity is roughly 550-600 m3 , I have the option to buy all of the timber minus the extraction costs but possibly could put in a price for the timber as it is .

 

 

Cheers

£8-£10

£5-10 a tonne based on a 10 tonne set up.

[N1ck]

£8 / tonne unless its's small awkward stuff then a bit more.

[A Townsend]

6.5 to 10 quid a m3.

 

What is your set up? What are your costs? What are you happy making?

 

Pretty similar to the other replies.

Thanks guys it's appreciated , it has proven that my figures £8-12 were about right , the client confirmed today that we have the job and has added further compartments to the original job spec so it's a win win situation . Once again thank you to the guys who posted their opinions .

Brand new Komatsu 855, £5/tonne but a touch more as that's based on a 3000t plus job and a short extraction.
