Honestly mate, that’s the going rate for a lot of hedge or Arb work. It’s not like we’re short of Arb firms round here either.

I’m trying to source a decent secondhand chipper for the tractor currently- one with feed rollers. But I love that mini chipper- it makes so much more sense to take the chipper right to the tree and turn into chip ten armfuls of brash that you’d otherwise have to drag to a road tow chipper.

I’ve owned one like that…. Not worth a wank. The roller just spins and slips.

Because I’d hardly use it.

On a side note thinking about taking a pay cut to drive a timber harvester/forwarder quite seriously atm....

You don't get out of bed for £10 an hour surely!?
