Processor Hire east Lothian

[charlieb]

Looking to hire in a processor for a day or two's solid work this winter. With or without operator. (We'd have someone on site to help make the most of it in any case.) If you're local (SE Scotland/borders) please get in touch with details of your rates.

 

In any case, can people elsewhere give me an idea of what I should be paying and how much I could expect to get done in a day. It would be splitting various-sized hardwood thinnings - decent form (as anything that isn't decent gets chainsawed and taken away as rounds) and straight onto a big pile.

 

Cheers

Hi Charlie

 

Down here I charge £27 per hour and 45 pence per mile plus Vat.

 

Would expect to cut between 20-30 cube of logs in a day depending on the wood and efficiency of the helpers. Did a record for me yesterday cleared the guys 19 tonne load of oak and some more arb wast but this was perfect processor sized oak with and ex marine and another strong lad helping.

Thanks guys. It would be low diameter stuff (max about 20 cm, mostly less), 2-3 meters long. All been stacked by hand so far.

 

Tom I'll be in touch at some point. Might not be till the Spring though. (It's very small and local firewood business we have.)
