I just want rid either way, trying to open a few avenues for removal incase 1 goes belly up.
-
Aprox 200t mixed hard & soft wood "possibly" available for collection roadside in Retford, if Stobarts give us a pap price for chip then its going elsewhere, good access for wagon & grab. Must take the whole lot.
-
Yep the whole lot, problem with that is we will still have a LOT of brash to deal with, if i could get a crane fed chipper in then happy days but imo that will add too much cost to the job as we are already planning on getting a 360 on site. Trying to suss out the best method.
-
Thanks matt, it a bit out of the way i recon the transport would kill the price.
-
Cheers Tom, the site where the trees are located is in Retford, we thought about selling the timber roadside but i think i would rather get somebody in that can take the whole tree away, so as the trees are all virgin timber do you reckon its worth as much as £20 a tonne? i don't want to store it just want to get rid while its on site.
-
Tried them, they only have small excavators.
-
I told them where the site was and their exact words was "its a good place to be" hes asked if i had a figure in my head price per tonne i said £10 then asked him to tell me what they would offer. Hopefully find out tomorrow.
-
We have got around 200 tonne of timber to shift once felled, all virgin timber mixed hard & soft wood. What should i expect Stobarts to be paying per tonne? they will be coming in and chipping it themselves.
-
I agree
-
Looking to hire a 15T 360 excavator with log grab, in the Retford area preferably a rotator grab but necessarily.
-
Agricultural just grass land, some has already been sold off for a signal mast.
-
Ours collects a lot of dust, but when it goes out it does a lot of work.
-
Horse atm but. Somewhere down the line if I can change usage then yard me thinks.
-
worth an ask, sure there must be a farmer who would let a piddly bit of land go for a fair price
-
yeah its not that much around here, need to come up with a sensible offer before i present it.
-
Its basically a huge field that just gets bailed for hay every year, the corner of this field must be a right ball ache to mow/bale etc. Was thinking about trying to find the owner of the land and make them an offer, they are either going to say yes or no.
-
How do you work out the price of land? ie 0.5 acres of what is now and has only ever been used as agricultural grass land, with road access ? i cannot find any other similar pieces of land in this area that are up for sale to gauge a price from.
-
I started work on a farm...never ever had to have a ticket for anything ...just save up and do your nptc
-
Why go back to 3.5t? did vosa allow you to keep that at home? or yard? they are basically the same as the 3.5t dailys right?
-
Yeah they do a lot of the utilities have em, some of transits have a 1.5t payload i believe, hear nothing but bad things about the new ish transits though. And the brand new ones, they seem too good for work who wants electric everything air con etc on a work horse?
-
-
Did you have a 5.5t Iveco Johny? u still got it?
-
Whats the payload on that? looks like a really nice van.
-
Trailer = 550kg Chipper 1335kg Towing capacity of van 2.250 kg So in theory yes it will tow it but in reality its a 2004 transit 90bhp! by the time i have got a wheelbarrow full of logs on board men & tools in will deffo be overloaded and i honestly think it would kill the van. Are them grafters 3.5t? i really like canters or them 6.5t ivecos look decent, its just more expense as usual.
-
So it has being decided then...tracked chipper it is! but now the question is what vehicle to tow it??? transit just will not cut it! i have actually got an operators licence but have never registered a vehicle on it so owt over 3.5t is no issue.
