Ditching/tree sheering cost per m

[d williams]

Haven’t got that far yet with the idea!

Not sure where you are was looking at a job on the weekend to deal with stumps on a road clearance kid asked what was happening to stuff above ground and was told lads were coming in to chip a clear
Just for the chip so may be worth having a ring around if you’ve a large volume

Ditching we’ve charged £40/hour in the past on our fuel.

I just looked back and I had a quote a few years ago for £3/m

We are now charging £50/hr with a 7ton 360 and weed basket on our own fuel , £100/hr for a 14ton 360 with a 12” tree shear . The wood chipper price varies from £75/hr upwards depending what we’re chipping and if we are keeping the chip .

@ajd132 did you get anywhere with your biochar making? I am going to have some conifer hedge clippings/branches I am wondering whether to try and make some rather than the usual bonfire down to ash

Chap I use charges same per hour for both jobs, 16 tonner with Steelwrist, doesn't hang about either job.

No. It was cost prohibitive.

Is it Calvin by any chance?

 

[stroller]

No. It was cost prohibitive.

Why was it expensive?

 

[ajd132]

Why was it expensive?

The chipping and logistics. And basically a completely unknown outcome. I’m still interested in the idea though.
