Looked at a job today, 60-70 inches access by side of house;

 

Large poplar and 30 leylandi to be removed.

 

Bit of a drag to be honest?

 

How do you guys do this?

 

Do you just drag it! Or chip and leave?

 

I know I can get a chipper in,

Was thinking of hiring or building a small 5 ft tipper; or else use a dumper??

 

Has anyone blown chip through a pipe? I'd imagine 6-8ft would be max?? Too short for this job.

You could always hirer a crane service to move the material to your chipper, unless overhead power line prohibit the use. Just don't kill or injure yourself for the sake of the job.

If you do have to drag get an arbor trolley ittpay for itself in that job imo.

 

The dumper could work but not sure of details.

 

Put boards down at pinch points as there will be a lot of compaction however you do it.

 

Any scope for zip lining stuff to the far end of garden nearest the house?

[Joel77]

I just price it up for more staff, drag limbs out as big as poss and wack the small brush in wheelie bins etc

 

Have taken the TW 125 down the back of a garden before, we was topping 12 conifers across the back and fired the chip around the bottoms of them

 

All depends really diffront jobs diffront customers

[Joe Newton]

Give them a price to leave chip and logs in the garden, and a much higher price to remove all waste.

 

At least if they want it all gone you'll have enough on it to get a couple more pairs of boots on the deck and a bit extra for yourself.

Cut as big as possible then drag out other compact tractor or quad.

[csservices]

Price it high enough for extra men, 3 men dragging on a long drag can still supply brash faster than the man on the chipper can chip it.

Use a mini loader, sounds like good access.

[Mark Bolam]

Sounds like access for about 80% of the jobs I had in my first 10 years.

Extra lads dragging, Arbor trolleys, wheelbarrows, mini loaders, every little helps.
