mobile log splitting

Does anyone do mobile log splitting? What do you charge per hour and is there allot of work in this field? I'm currently a trainee tree surgeon just looking to make some extra money during the weekends. I've done all the research on kit rough costs like log splitters chippers New chainsaws insurance running costs but is there a high demand for mobile log splitting?

I've done it twice in 10 year, both times because I've took trees down, and blagged work, not sure it's a goer unless you would intend to own splitter regardless

Yes there is if you can get the customers through taking a tree down. Give them a card with your name and number and what your service your offering and you should be able to get enough work to cover saturdays

My dad does a fair bit of mobile processing with his Farmi processor & Davy Broon.

A lot of local customers buy in artic loads of wood and he will process it all for them. £30/hr for man & machine. Get through a fair load in a day, especially if the customer helps with emptying trailers or if its just going into one big pile.
