What price?

[Jim B]

15T at £50 per tonne is £750

 

I would only ever offer £50 -£100 for atree like that. Quite a lot of work to get it back to a yard for turning in to logs

 

I agree 10.00 per tonne for standing processor friendly ash at present, so 100.00 plus vat seems fair for an oversized (hedgerow?) Tree.

Haha yes not my finest effort

That is one hell of a tree, 30 cube of logs. take a day or two with a chainsaw and splitter to get into a state to go through a processor.

 

I would agree to a figure per processed cube. Buying in cord ready for the processor is about £40 a cube. Less your hourly rate getting is cut up. 2 days at £200 = £400 to cut it up, say you got 20 cube out of it, so that would be £800 to but the cord in, less your £400, that makes £400 for 20 cube or £20 per processed cube.

 

So I would offer £10 per processed cube and prepare to be negotiated up a bit of necessary. Then if your volume estimate is wrong then everybody is clear.
