    50? fuel for truck, fuel for chipper, time driving there, time chipping. disposel of waste. large pile of messed up branches £80 to £100 might be fair.

    Its good to know i am roughly on the same page when it comes to quotes. prob over quoted it, but would rather lose a job than work for nothing.

    Forgot to say. the site has rough terrain. hilly in some parts and 7ft barbwire fence that divides the site on a hill, real tough work in some areas. Cheers

    highland forestry, thanks for good advice. Def agree with you regarding ongoing expensies and maintainance. I estimate job to take 30 days at most. prob will take somewhere around 20 to 25 days but i always through extra days in just in case.

    hey Ty korrigen. I know what you mean. was working it around the 23k mark...but tis good to know that other people are quoting similar prices. yeah below 20k and i would be taking a big risk. need extra money aside just incase someone decides to chip a chunk of iron. thanks again.

    how i price is rubbish fuel for chipper , saws and truck oil for chainsaws ( getting expensive for oil now ) wages my day rate then x 30 prob is that i should really include my all my insurances and every other expense and divide it inot months and then weeks then work out how much my 'true expenses ' are..but would never get jobs if i done that.

    for 30 full days with 4 men on site ( inc yourself ) Full day cutting and chipping, small to med trees with no climbing involved, everything staying on site. about 20mile drive everyday? Got a large job to quote and looking to put day rate on it and curious what other people quote. thanks.
  11. Czlowiek Drzewo
    cool. very good idea also.
  12. Czlowiek Drzewo
    best way to quote a job like that....is to over quote it!

    All the eucs i see have large splits of stem. Is this not signs of frost damage? ..as they are evergreen broadleafs and more prone to split. Almost all of the eucs i have removed have been dead throughout.

    I found exactly the same with my new one also. it feels like to chain is too tight for the bar and it pinches, doesn't seem like it would do the bar any good. i was taking down decent size tree the other day and found that the bar and chain stops in cut due to this...and it happens often. I also find that after using full tank of fuel..that i have barely used 1/4 of oil..which is strange. wishing i got a 200t now.
  15. Czlowiek Drzewo
    explain to them how nice the tree is and make them remove something else to get good access. if they persist them phone the local newspaper and make a story of it. Name and shame will stop them dropping it.

    No harm touting for business at all. But being cocky won't get you work.
  17. Czlowiek Drzewo
    Got it sorted now. many thanks for advice. was just looking ti see if it was cost effective. cheers.
  18. Czlowiek Drzewo
    thanks, what i am looking for is exp crane driver who has done tree work before. I know its far and few between.
  19. Czlowiek Drzewo
    why??
  20. Czlowiek Drzewo
    taking down a large polular right next to a big carpark. was going to rig it all down but i reckon i'll save a day or 2 with crane ..just wanting to see it it works out cheaper. tree is about 70ft..
  21. Czlowiek Drzewo
    looked like fun.
  22. Czlowiek Drzewo
    got a new one myself, would say its lighter than the 200t. feels a lot different. like you said it hold less fuel but is 20% more fuel efficent than 200t. can't say much yet as i need see how tough it is after 1 year.
  23. Czlowiek Drzewo
    anyone know decent crane hire companies in glasgow? cheers
  24. Czlowiek Drzewo
    great advice so far. keep it coming! tree is 40ft and roots stretch out about 15ft. small / med size sitka.
  25. Czlowiek Drzewo
    Here's the prob. One of my good costumers has a semi-mature sitka spruce, she really like the tree and doesn't want removed. the trees roots are growing slightly under her neighbours slabs and pushing them up. the neighbour is wanting to get new slabbing done and cut away about 3 ft of roots to do this. I told her its prob best to remove it as it will need to come down at some point being only 25t from property but she is keen on keeping it and cutting some of the roots. Q - Though its is not recommended and this species is shallow rooted, is it ok to remove some roots? and what affect will this have? what time of year is best to do so? Not something i want to do..but you got to keep them happy.
