Big Mark

Now then... I look at the job and simply quote a price based on stump species, size, situation, travel blah blah. I try to get a day rate of 480euros for a days grinding with a forfait minimum of 120euros (2 hours)

I know the Bandit uses 4.2 litres per hour and the teeth can sometimes be used up in a day. I find a day is in fact 6 hours of use with rest being digging and raking time.

We used to rent a Laski push along from Kiloutou, a **** of a machine with blunt teeth.

Along with the wear of the pockets the Bandit costs around 16euros per grinding hour.
