  1. So best to charge by cube rather than a day rate? Well atleast when the extraction distance isn't too far.
  2. I don't know, it'll be getting marked soon so will work out then. 20 Yr old first thinnings it is.
  3. Well timber is too cheap really, for the amount of years, machinery and labour that go into it
  4. One site would be oak and Scots pine mix, so mainly taking out pine. Other would be hardwood. Both wouldn't be moving too far, across a field, so 500m ish.
  5. Yeah like it is still solid, I might just mill it and see what happens. If its crap the stove can have it then.
  6. 120 years of growth to be thrown into a stove in 1 winter does seem a waste
  7. Alot of the canopy shattered as would be expected, some large limbs cracked right in half. There's an old crack right in the heart aswell. There's alot of discolouration as can be seen in the photo.
  8. Hi, What would the rough day rate of a small scale forestry job be? Cutting by chainsaw, extraction by winch and small tractor with log trailer. I've been offered thinning work of sites that are only 1ha. Based in ireland, but I'm guessing the UK would be similar rates. Thanks, G
  9. Hi, Is it worth milling up an old ash that had severe dieback? Thanks, G

    Topped tree

    Hi there, I have a Lime tree that was topped maybe 20 or so years ago. My question is can it be thinned out, leaving most of the tree there or should it be cut back to the knuckle? Thanks, G
