Husky 372, 390 or 395 imo havnt used many stihls but husky are just as reliable as stihl with alot more grunt, maybe you should have ago with thesse saws first before you buy you might like them
-
depends on the quality of the woodland, if your in blocks of beech with no understory where you can cut 15+ tons a day then ud be charging less per ton probaly £7.50 but if your in a coppice sites full of hazel and other crap ud want more. also depends on how much goes for forwading the wood out probaly £5
-
how can you give rates without seeing the wood? lol it could be rough stuff, when you say £4 is that for large diametre timber or small stuff? you must be a human harvester to cut for that price
-
Im in this months journal:biggrin: an article on englefield estate, im doing the first thinnings in the pic, i wish i was in better timber lol the pics not brilliant you cant see my face but owell atleast im in it lol
-
i supply everything fuel, chains etc ive been doing it nearly 15 month so i guess anywhere from 8 or 9 ton upwoods depending on the site i guess, obviously some sites are terrible and hard to make money in im on £8.50 a ton so just wondering what other prices are
-
Mostly coppice sites generally flat, sometimes on slopes etc, I'm after the price just for cut not extract, and is 5 pound for larger stuff? I've only really done work for two contractors so trying to get a better idea of price
-
as the title says just wondering what people get paid per ton for cutting hardwood, small and large diametre?
-
another contractor on the estate i work for has 360's he has a 20 ton with warratah head, you do find with the bigger machines with the oil flow up they tend to snap small stuff when going through the head thats why hes getting a 14ton machines for first thinnings
-
Been doing some planting for an estate recently on a day rate and got me thinking what the prices are for planting on a piece rate. ive been planting hardwoods bare root and from a root cell and these have either been sticked and tubes or cane and spiral and been planting softwoods from a root cell with no gaurding just wondering what the rought prices are? cheers stu
