Fallen trees

Luckysasha

I have a couple of big trees on the farm that fell over in the last storm. There too big for me to handle so I'm thinking of offering them to a local lad that has a sideline business selling logs and sticks. What way does the money end of it work? Does he buy them off me or do we call it even because he is clearing them from my land. Going on past experience I'd say when there processed in to burn able size logs he will get about 10 x 6 tonne dumper loads out of it.

Where are you in country

Charge him €100 per tree. If he will get that quantity out of them he'll make a very livable profit.

Maybe someone would pay more per tree. Any pics ?

Make sure he is insured to carry out work. If not they could be very expensive trees

Are you talking mature hardwoods? Sawmills will take it for making pieces for houses.

Usually more than likely them fellas selling timber don't have insurance, I wouldn't be letting any man onto my land with a chainsaw. There is a fully insured man in my local town all insurance health and safety and everything he'd be charging €800 a tree to cut them up and he'd take them away if you didn't want them. The insurance is fairly expensive I'd imagine and also hard to get.

Friend of mine cuts them up and takes half for himself, puts the other half in our outhouse. Theres something down every year, and we always have a great supply of firewood.
