I'd go 950, rig all the brash, get a load of bales/tyres on the monoblock, flop the butt over get JON to come and PICK UP OFF SITE MATE, jobs a good un

Hi john I put £5k on it then give you £2500 now you under cut that's great 😏😏😏thanks Jon

I didn't say it wasn't a doddle, why knacker yourself climbing when you don't have to.

 

You wouldn't knacker yourself doing that, and in answer to your question, to make more money on the job.

I'm ok with that Jon, when shall we do it?

[Shane]

I wouldn't use a mewp, it wont get you in to where you need to make the cuts.

 

Climbing and rigging down big chunks for me. If you really want to use machinery to speed it up then get a crane and dismantle really big chunks - but the position lends itself to the 'old school solution. Agree with protection for the block paving, and there will be services below somewhere.

 

Time will depend on how quick the climber is and how well the groundies can keep up.

 

Trees that size command 4 figures round our way. How far depends on how you deal with the 'waste' and how much you need the work.

 

Good luck with it - looks like fun.

 

PS get your boards up while you are doing it, let people see who you are and that you can handle big stuff.

Hi William, I recon 2 days, 3 staff & anywhere between £1500 - £2000.

The kit you have makes a job like this easier to deal with.

If you need a hand with it let me know.

 

 

This was exactly my thinking, and I'll definitely be giving you a call if I get it.

I would love to see someone get this done by 2PM as someone suggested as I'm allowing most of a day to get the crown down and 1 load of chip and 2nd day to take the stem down and remove + the logs from the crown away. GregM, where do you operate to get undercut on a job like this for that money ?

Sounds like you've got it figured. 1 day for the brash and cord, another for the stem. Don't be caught out by the amount of time and mess that comes with ringing up a stem that size.

 

To be honest, I reckon a semi decent climber could get that on the deck by 2pm, if that was the only objective, but I wouldn't want to be the one clearing up after him.

 

The most efficient pace is one where the lads on deck can keep up with you. No sense slowing them down by crashing limb on top of limp with a few logs on top of that for good measure. (That's when you shout down "I'll just roll myself a smoke while you guys sort that out!")

Hi john next week thanks Jon

[Mick Dempsey]

It's all about the stem, if you plan to ring it up and handball it out you're crazy.

Like someone said, get a farmer with a grain trailer and a telehandler, you'll be finished in a day.
