Contractor Processor?

This year is proving tough to find the time to work on our wood supply and I was wondering if such a thing as a mobile processor and crew existed for hire in the North East for a one off job?

 

We've got about 20 odd tonnes of semi-seasoned mixed hardwood (a lot of beech in it, some sycamore, some birch) to ideally get cut and split up this year. It's in 3m lengths, pretty straight but a mix of diameters from 6 inches to 18 inches. We also need it cut to 60cm lengths (so not the usual) and then stacking tightly in a Poly Tunnel by hand.

 

Ideally, I'd like to hire a crew and a processor for a couple of days work and wondered if this sort of thing exists and any idea on what the going daily rate is?

 

Cheers,

 

Mike

Well the wife just said we should get involved in the stacking so this could be a faster job than I thought.

 

Also, I'm not used to processors as we currently have a bit of a more manual approach, but they do seem to chuck it through quickly! Would 20-30 tonnes a day seem like a lot?
