    Shake that man's hand. Softwood makes most excellent firewood. I have on occasion burnt poplar as well, seasoned about 7 months, makes fantastic kindling to.

    The burn marks ARE cool, your not a proper tree surgeon if you don't have a few to show off.

    Never ever get wound up when you beaten on price. You looked at the job, thought carefully about it and put your price in. If someone else does it cheaper that's life. There is ALWAYS someone who will do it cheaper at every level of the game.

    I used to get everyone in my street to stick their trees in my front garden by say the 10th of January then chipped them up for free.

    6 Acres will be difficult to make pay. You'll struggle to get a harvesting contractor in on that size job on a tonnage rate as they won't make enough. Harvesting roughly 5.00 a ton with mechanized means forwarding roughly 6.00 a ton mechanized. These are purpose built high speed machines. To do it with smaller kit will take longer so it'll cost more. The material (depending on size) will be worth between 14.00 and 27.00 a ton at roadside. Forget Biomass you'll get 6.00 a ton at best although you could sell the brash and tops after harvesting (PM me for details). I'd be tempted to get the site measured to see what's there then look at you options. You'll probably be better off doing the job on a piecemeal basis and selling it into the firewood market for about 15.00 a ton at roadside.

    Good advice from Dave and Garth. Don't bother with them. A tub grinder or biomass chipper will be much better. What material are you looking at getting rid of ?

    Speak to local woodfuel buyers and the like off TillHill and Euroforest. They will have outlets into local markets. If you are pricing the job the big boys will buy it at roadside for a set price in writing.
